BTW: The permissions of the mount point don't matter since they can be different after the directory has been mounted. So I guess the set-gid only needs to be set on the exported directory. In fact, I would set the permissions of the mount point so that it's only writable by root so that ordinary users can't write to it while it's unmounted (a later mount would make those files invisible for as long as the directory is mounted). And finally: Using the kernel automounter (autofs) avoids 1) the need for the users option 2) users forgetting to mount the thing Bye... Dirk
