Me again!
I have would like to know how I can mount my win98 partition under Linux so that all users have read/write access on it and not only the ‘root’ user.
P.S. Thanx for all the advice.

I *think* you can use the uid= and gid= options, for example
Code:
mount -t vfat -o uid=nobody,gid=users,noexec /dev/hda1 /somedir
I can't say for certain - I don't it myself though. Have alook at the mount manpage (man mount) for more details that might help. The noexec isn't strictly needed but you probably don't want to be able to attempt to execute anyold file from the partition anyway, not the best for security!

or ..
HI FNC,
this is how I mount my windows partition. I do not know how secure it is - works though. this line from my /etc/fstab ...
/dev/hda1 /win vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 is the windoze partition and /win the mount point (needs to be created first). You may need to change the vfat if you are using that fat32 file system in doze.

Thanx MRL
That is how my my drive is mounted at present, but only the "root" has r/w permition to the drive.
I need to mount the partition so that all users have r/w access.
Also, where can I find good documentation an /etc/fstab?
