This is known to work out of the box with vfat, other file systems (such as ext3) have permission bits that may mean you cannot read or write the files; it all depends on what file system you are using. Bypassing that doesn't sound like a particular good idea to me. Using such file systems on removable media is not a very good idea either IMHO. David
