Subject: [newbie] Permissions on a directory
I have a 6GB HD that is formatted to vfat that I would like to use as
both my Wind'ohs and Linux 'scrap' drive to store my documents
Have you tried smbclient? I have found it very helpful in the past. If you
can
smbclient -L servername_here
and see something you at least know it is not a closed port on the router...

Open up /etc/fstab and then on the line that describes your vfat partition, add
"umask=0" as one of the options. For example, here's mine:
/dev/hdb5 /windowsvfat
user,exec,nodev,nosuid,rw,conv=auto,umask=0 0 0
I think you can also use linuxconf to change that
