I repeat: it has nothing to do with the mount. The permission bits are stored in the partition itself. To change, use "chmod" Specifically, to get rid of the t, use chmod o-t /mountpoint when it's mounted Could it be that this partition used to be /tmp in some previous installation? Beause /tmp always has those permissions set -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
