Hi All,
Why can't I get Linux to do what I want Monday morning?
I want users to be able to write to a dos partition .
Permission scurrently, when mounted or unmounted are:
drwxrwxr-x 10 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 dos
If I "chown root:dosusers dos" or "chgrp dosusers dos" I
get:
chgrp: dos/: Operation not permitted
1. dosusers is a valid group as /etc/group has:
"dosusers:x:502:root,mikel,lindax"
2. users could, if the permissions were correct, write to it
as etc/fstab has:
"/dev/hda1 /dos vfat user,rw 0 0"
hda1 is similarly setup in passwd and shadow like the floppy
which users can write to so why can't I set the permissions
on /dos to allow users to write to it?
root can write to /dos fine of course as it's owned by root.
Mike
