I will include one typical vfat entry I have my system to enable me to write to my windows dirs. I honestly can't remember the meaning of the last two variables on the line but this works for me. I think the umask is what enables normal users to write files without permission problems. /dev/hda1 /hda1 vfat defaults,umask=000 1 0 /dev/hdc1 /hdc1 vfat defaults,umask=000 1 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro,unhide 0 0 Guess I'm gonna have to pay another visit to the man pages for mount and fstab:) On Tue, Jun 18, 2002 at 07:19:33AM -0230, Doug Lawlor wrote: > Hello list, I need to know how to let a user besides 'root' write to a > partition.
