Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Hello Dave: /dev/sda4 is owned by root:root. I did try chowning it to root:users, then I chowned the mount points to root:user. so the permissions for the device were lr-xr-xr-x root:users /dev/sda4 and the MOunt point was drwxrwxrwx root:users /mnt/zip after mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip, the permissions of the mounted zip drive are drwxr-xr-x root:root /mnt/zip On Sun, 2002-02-24 at 05:42, David Stevenson wrote: > Have a look in 'dmesg', look for the device that matches your zip disk. then 'ls -al >/dev/'your zip device'.

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Hello: No effect. I have noticed that I get the same effect when I mount my floppy. My fstab looks as follows (indented lines are continuations of the preceding line): /dev/hdb6 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec, codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync, exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0, codepage=850 0 0 /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=777, nosuid,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb9 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 All help is most appreciated.

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Hello: Prior to the Mount, /mnt/zip has permissions of dwrxwrxwrx. After I issue a mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip/ it has permissions of dwrx-rx-rx.

[expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Hello: How can I make it so that my mount points are accessable to all users. Currently, I have to 'su' in order to write to a zip disk, which is -- to be honest -- unacceptable. Can anyone help? I need to analyze the AutoFS man page first, but I may be back asking how to set it up (I accidently unchecked it during install). Douglas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
