[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?

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Create an entry in /etc/fstab (if you don't already have one) and include the option 'user' (without ' ) included at the end of the entry.

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
Hello: I appear to have 'user' specified. that line of my fstab is as follows: /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 Should I add user again?

That looks like it should work. How about the /mnt/zip dir, is it accessable to non-root 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.

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
No expert here and probably I'm wrong, but taking a look at my own fstab and what I have for the floppy, maybe adding nosuid before exec would help. Acording to the man page nosuidDo not allow set-user-identifier or set- group-identifier bits to take effect. (This seems safe, but is in fact rather unsafe if you have suidperl(1) installed.) So unless you are using suidperl you shouldn't break anything and it should prevent lockouts. Otherwise I'm not sure. To quote (sorta) Dirty Harry, "Do you feel lucky".

Re: [expert] Making Mounts accessable to all users
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. ATB Dave.

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'.
