Hi all,

Since I haven't gotten a response about changing permissions or getting my drives to mount as read/write, maybe I can solve the problem I am having by logging in to the knoppix machine as a user other than 'knoppix'.

I have files on a mounted drive that are owned by the user 'mail'. I need to get these files off this drive and on to another one in order to recover my server. As the files are owned by user "mail", the normal login as user "knoppix" will not allow me to copy the files to a network drive.

I have setup an FTP server on another local machine and I also have started the samba server on the knoppix machine. I can get other files that are accessible to the knoppix user, just not those owned by other users.

Any suggestions how to gain access to these files would be greatly appreciated as I have now been down for 1 week.

Thanks

Dale
