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'. This should show you who owns and what group the device is in. For cdroms, this could be 'root' owned and group 'disk', you could then add group 'disk' to each user. This is a stab in the dark.

[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?
