Yes, this helps, because the permissions are set incorrectly. See this line: drwx------ 171 test test 65536 2006-06-23 20:04 My Music
The d means it's a directory (ie a folder). The rwx means it's readable, writable and browsable by the owner of the folder - in this case, the user called "test" The ------ means that all other users are denied any access to "My Music" So, you need either to change the permissions on that folder, or change the owner to the same user as slimserver is running as. I'm guessing that your drive is formatted as FAT32. AFAIK this means that the mount options for the drive dictate the permissions of every file and folder on the drive. (That is, you can't control permissions for each file/folder separately). Thus, the best way to fix your permissions would be to mount the drive with the mount option umask=222; this would enable all users to browse and read all files on the drive, but would deny write access. If you want to write files as well, you could set the umask to 000. I don't know how you set the mount options in Ubuntu. In most linux distributions it's set in /etc/fstab. However, if you're using a hotplug style mounting system then it may be set elsewhere. Somebody else may need to help you there... -- bukharin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bukharin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34339 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
