the umask=0,0,0 parameter is setting permissions to 777. Consequently anyone can create or edit the files. Errors would still be returned by applications that attempt to set the actual file owner. So you could a. just click through the warning b. modify the mount for each login. (won't work if multiple simultaneous logins possible) If you are running bash as the shell you could try the following: * create a small program in perl/bash/C to remount with the real UID of the caller. This will probably have to be SUID to root. (a risky thing, but probably OK in this case if it is short and takes no parameters.) * edit /etc/profile to execute that program. /etc/profile is run by bash for every login.
