Thanks for the reply, Aaron. Actually Michael Schwendt gave the best
solution in his reply to my original post. I don't think that what you
suggest will work.

umount /mnt/shared
chown root:users /mnt/shared
chmod 770 /mnt/shared

doesn't do the trick, because when dev/hda6 is mounted on /mnt/shared by
root /mnt/shared reverts to being owned by root:root and having
permissions 777. The gid and the umask (or fmask and dmask) have to be
set in /etc/fstab.

Thanks anyway,

Darren
