Since /dev/hde1 is being mounted on boot, it is owned by root. "users" allows anyone to umount a device whether they were the ones to mount it or not, I believe. Perhaps that would allow any user to write to the drive also? Worth a try??? Mike PS: There are some security concerns with this method I would think.

On all three machines, my experience was identical with USB Zip250 drives: plug it in, a /zip250.0 directory is automagically created in the /mnt directory. /etc/fstab is automagically edited to include an appropriate line for the new drive.

USB Zip drive on RH 7.2
I have a Sony Vaio running RH 7.2. The laptop has a CD-W/DVD and I believe during installation this was detected and SCSI support was included in the kernel. I've added a USB external Zip drive that is recognized on a hot plugin. I edited /etc/fstab by adding the line /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipautonoauto,user,kudzu 0 0 The disk does mount but when I shutdown, there seems to be a problem with USB support, where it hangs for a few MINUTES before quickly posting an error message (something about a new address being rejected) and then shutting down normally. Problem with my /fstab entry? While I'm up and running the device seems to work OK. I'm able to copy files to the disk (though it does appear a bit slow to respond). It's only on e the shutdown that I notice a difficulty. BTW, the device will not work if connected at boot-up. It must be connected (or unplugged and re-connected) following boot up to work.

Shutting Down network connection
On my one mandrake laptop, I can disconnect from my network (to leave my office) by gracefully disconnecting from the network with "ifdown eth0" and then later, after reconnecting the cat5 cable, "ifup eth0". These commands don't seem to exist in my RH 7.2 laptop. Is there a way of shutting down the network card, temporarily, and then restarting it, (before unplugging the cable)? I tried "ifconfig eth0 down", but no luck there either.
