I currently use: /dev/hda8 /home/lowen/data vfat uid=500,gid=500 0 0 for a vfat partition. I also have given uid 500, gid 500 access to the mount point; is /mt/windows accessible to uid 512, gid 1002? -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
