As far as I understand it, vfat partition is owned by root and no one but root. But you can set in your smb.conf who among the users may have write permission to a particular share under that partition.
That's the current setup we have in our office. But that is just temporary since the vfat-partitioned secondary 40-gig harddisk came from a Windows computer. Later, we'll repartition it into ext3, which should no longer give us pain in the neck. Our fstab entry for our vfat partition is: "/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat auto,rw 0 0" For an alternative opinion, you may visit this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/4/2003/04/1/45767 -- Dong B.
