Hello Dave: /dev/sda4 is owned by root:root. I did try chowning it to root:users, then I chowned the mount points to root:user. so the permissions for the device were lr-xr-xr-x root:users /dev/sda4
and the MOunt point was drwxrwxrwx root:users /mnt/zip after mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip, the permissions of the mounted zip drive are drwxr-xr-x root:root /mnt/zip On Sun, 2002-02-24 at 05:42, David Stevenson wrote: > Have a look in 'dmesg', look for the device that matches your zip disk. then 'ls -al >/dev/'your zip device'.
