Subject: [expert] vfat mounting
I've got a removable media device (sony memorystick) formatted as vfat
which I'm mounting as my home of tiny super-secret stuff like gnupg and
figaro's password manager. The problem is that it insists on mounting
with some overgenerous permissions:
[jack@chupacabra jack]$ grep crypto /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /home/jack/.crypto vfat
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,exec 1 2
[jack@chupacabra jack]$ ls -la | grep .crypto
drwxrwxr-x 4 jack jack 16384 Dec 31 1969 .crypto/
I've been reading the mount and umask man pages and STFWing, but I can't
figure out how to make it mount with reduced permissions... something
like 600 would be more like it.
