actually no, the permissions of the mountpoint are irrelevant as they are replaced with the permissions of the filesystem being mounted. (its root directory permission that is) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# ls -ld tmp/ drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 1024 Feb 23 00:55 tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# mount | grep -w /var/tmp /dev/hda9 on /var/tmp type ext2 (rw,nosuid) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# umount tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# ls -ld tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 11 20:38 tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# mount tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# ls -ld tmp/ drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 1024 Feb 23 00:55 tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var]# -- Ethan Benson
