set perms when mounting vfat?

Hey all,

I'm mounting a windoze drive in fstab, here's the entry:

/dev/hda5 /home/Administrator/winFiles vfat rw,uid=myUser,gid=myGroup 0 0

it mounts with the following permissions:

rwxr--r--

i really need it to mount:

rwxrwxr--

any ideas on how i'd accomplish this?

thanx,
spiderworm

nevermind, i just happened to run across umask on google right after i posted, in my fstab i added umask=007 which gives me rwxrwx--- which is good enough for me.

now that line in fstab reads:

/dev/hda5 /home/Administrator/winFiles vfat rw,uid=myUser,gid=myGroup,umask=007 0 0
