Here is what I have found to work: > I don't understand this scenario. What is a dual-boot, mulit-user system? If a system is truly multi-user, I would assume that means maximum uptime. I don't remember being told I couldn't ssh into a machine I have an account on because at the moment somebody had booted it into Windows! Does anybody out there have dual-boot machines with public access (like in a lab or something)? I assume the machine in question is a single or limited user desktop, and that the machine's owner wants the easiest and/or most elegant method of mounting the windows drive for read/write access. A question: Couldn't the entry 'user' be left off this next line below with the same effect? > /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc vfat defaults,user,auto,uid=win,gid=win,umask=002 > 0 0 This is a good suggestion for many user access problems. Creating a special group instead of umasking/chmoding some directory or device to 777 is always a better plan of attack. This kind of thing has come up before on this list...getting sound as a user being a recent example.
