Yup. The above procedure would surely work. However, it would make all the
files in msdos directory executeable - i doubt this is what you want.
It is more likely you want to make files rw, or even read-only, and
directories rwx, or r-x for a "dos-users" group.
Important: permissions have different meaning for directories and for
files. In particular "allowed to execute" (x) means "allowed to access the
contents of directory" in case of directories.
The mount options for the whole dos-filesystem can also be set from
linuxconf (or directly in /etc/fstab), under
"file-systems/access-local-drive".
I would recomend setting things like "no program allowed to execute", "no
special device support", and especially "no set uid programms allowed".
Also, under "dos options", you can set-up "default user/group ID", and
"default permission".
