No filesystem is secure unless the OS that is accessing it thinks it is. Take the example of Linux reading NTFS. Linux has no idea how to map users/groups to the NTFS file permissions, so how well do you think those permissions work? There is a program for Windows (IIRC "explore2fs") that will read ext2 partitions and the same thing applies. Windows has no clue about Linux users/groups. The only filesystem with reliable read/write support from Linux and Windows would be FAT. Microsoft OSes only support Microsoft filesystems. -- William Hooper -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
