I don't believe it's so hard to mount a pen drive!!!
Flavio, This isn't hard. I've done something similar on several machines and offered you some ideas on how I solved the problem. However, you didn't want to try my suggestions. This is fine, but it leaves the onus on you for discovering a method you like. We've given you enough information to do this. Now, you need to take some initiative and do some research. For example, the "a" parameter is described in the chmod manual. This is why I suggested that you read it. The manual on my machine states: "A combination of the letters `ugoa' controls which users' access to the file will be changed: the user who owns it (u), other users in the file's group (g), other users not in the file's group (o), or all users (a). If none of these are given, the effect is as if `a' were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected." At this point, the discussion isn't around UML. Its about UNIX permissions and how the OS enforces security. Once you understand this, resolving the UML issue will be self-evident. Put simply, a UML guest CANNOT access something on the host unless it has the proper permissions.
