We are using LDAP as well, with the primary group for all students being
ldapusers, instead of creating individual groups for each user.

I recall running into this before when working with Jim Kronebusch, and after
talking to him, his recommendation was to run the following:

"Just do a “cd /media” then “umask 077” as sudo su."

I did that, and all seems well now.

What is the script that is used to mount the media?

Thanks,

John
