Re: [newbie] make partition/dir r/w dor all
Hi, Ok, this was given to me by Izak and done yesterday...still working after overnight reboot...Thanks to all that responded to my question.. *** Just chmod /mnt/backup to 1777. That way it is sticky and writable by any one. Sticky means anyone can create files, but you cannot delete files created by someone else. Similar to /tmp.

[newbie] make partition/dir r/w dor all
Hi, /dev/hdg8 /mnt/backup ext3 rw,users,exec,auto,suid 0 0 What else need I put in this line to make it rw for all, Please. I do not like to change to su every time I want to write something there. Looking in the *man mount* it seems I done all - maybe missed some?

Go to /usr/sbin and rename the msec executable to DISABLEmsec. If you ever want to re-enable msec just rename the executable back to the original msec. This is fine if you know how to secure your system and know what permissions you want on your directories. I'm no fan of msec. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
