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 -- ===================================================================== D. D.
