Ubuntu usually wants to behave like a desktop system. Ie, you plug in a drive and it is 'owned' by the user that is currently logged into the console. (How this works when you have multiple users using X at the same time, I don't know... I guess it will just choose the 'first' one...) But as you noticed, that's not all that useful in a server situation, and SBS is a server not a desktop app. In a server situation, you'll want the drive to automatically mount at boot time. You shouldn't need to log in to start a server, it should do it at boot time.. and it should be mounted with permissions that let the server get to the data on the drive. So you will have to manually set this up, so that it mounts the drive at boot and so that the permissions are right. How to do that depends on the format of the drive. 'UbuntuGuide' (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Mounting_NTFS_Partitions_.28with_read.2Fwrite_privileges.29) has a reasonable explanation, though like all things there are multiple ways to do it. I find editing fstab the easiest and most predictable. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74896 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
