Go on excusing my ignorance: if everybody can read and write inside the directory /mnt/windows and all its subdirs, what's the need for gnus to change the permissions of the files it creates inside /mnt/windows? Rodolfo: > I tried to do the same, but [...] Adam Sjøgren: > WHY? > > The commands I showed you just illustrates that you can work around > the lack of unixy permissions-support in vfat by setting uid and gid > in your fstab on Linux. BECAUSE: since I didn't manage to properly set uid and gid in my fstab on Linux I wanted to check if I was well understanding your indications. Rodolfo: > in my /etc/fstab I changed the line: > /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage850 0 0 > into: > /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0,uid=501,gid=501 > . Is that what you meant? Adam: > Read the manual-page for fstab. (Hint: you put the options in the > wrong place). Besides that: yes. What's it, a guessing game? I read all through the fstab manual, and also the mount options for fat, and neither there nor there it is said what the right place should be for the uid and gid options. Yours sincerely, and thanks again. Rodolfo
