How can a permission be denied to root? Adam: > Try setting uid and gid in your fstab to your users uid and gid, and > see if that helps. =0D I did: [rodolfo@localhost rodolfo]$ id uid=3D501(rodolfo) gid=3D501(rodolfo) groups=3D501(rodolfo) , then in my /etc/fstab I changed the line: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=3D0,iocharset=3Diso8859-15,codepage=3D850= 0 0 into: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=3D0,iocharset=3Diso8859-15,codepage=3D850= 0 0,uid=3D501,gid=3D501 . Is that what you meant? Then I rebooted the computer. But now the command 'ls -l /mnt' gave: drwxr--r-- 30 root root 16384 gen 1 1970 windows/ This looks very very strange to me. I connected to internet, launched emacs, opened uo gnus, and whan I tried to enter the nnml group it said: Unable to contact server: Couldn't create directory: /mnt/windows/mail-prov= a=0D . I'm lost. Please, any other hint? Rodolfo ____________________________________________________________ Libero Flat, sempre a 4 Mega a 19,95 euro al mese!=20 Abbonati subito su http://www.libero.it
