Any filesystem without permissions that the linux driver can read usally sets the owner and group to the user whos mounting it. So root owns all the files. You need to add a gid= and uid= option to the fstab and specify the user and group who will own it *or* add a dmask= and fmask= setting the files so their world readable. More info can be found in the man page for mount under the "Mount options for fat" section. -- Eric Olinger Public Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xF90FBBC1 Key fingerprint: B678 9E22 1161 51CF 6664 7591 6767 5BDB F90F BBC1 Give a man a password, he'll log in for a day.
