What GID is "users"? I misspoke earlier (I'd been making w-a-a-a-y too many changes while troubleshooting this issue). Although on both hosts, "nobody" is 65534 and "users" is 100, what I want to happen is for it to mount UID 501 (user "mandrakemarc" on "tiny" and user "marc" on "oracle") and GID 82 (group "webusers" on both hosts). However, what I'm getting is UID 65534 and GID 100 (again, user "nobody" and group "users" on both hosts). At one point, that's what I was trying for... and now it won't change :-( Troubleshooting procedure: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ umount /var/www/tiny [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ umount /windows [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ sudo vi /etc/fstab (make minor edit to fstab, changing uid or gid, save changes...) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ mount /dev/hda4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ ls -la /windows total 68 drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 32768 2005-08-18 09:43 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2005-08-02 18:51 .. drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 32768 2005-08-16 08:15 data [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ mount /var/www/tiny [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $ ls -la /var/www/tiny drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 32768 Aug 18 2005 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Aug 16 17:38 ../ drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 32768 Aug 16 08:15 data/ As you can see, user "nobody" and group "users" seem to be persistent, regardless of what I do in /etc/fstab. > Your "mount" command there looks like it was done as a normal user.

The same holds true if I preface mount and umount commands with sudo. > FWIW, > for ongoing use you're better off using an automounter such as amd, > rather than putting it in fstab. I'll look into that further.
