This wouldn't help. Try it and you'll see that the permissions
of the mountpoint aren't visible after mounting:
Before mounting:
[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwx------ 2 sttr users 1024 Mar 19 23:47 /mnt/dosc/
And after mounting:
[root]/root# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc/
[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/dosc/
Use the umask option like this
[root]/root# mount -o umask=000 -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc/
[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwxrwxrwx 16 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/dosc/
to give read/write/execute permission to everyone.
Ciao,
Stefan
