Ok, I added a new hard drive (it contains a Win98 VFAT), named /dev/hdc1 - mount point is to /gblusr/dosd - which I created the mount point directory, did a chmod 777 on, and chgrp to users

fstab file has the following:
/dev/hdc1 /gblusr/dosd vfar defaults,user,exec 0 0

NOTE: even though my typing maybe bad, the directory and fstab file are the same folder name, i.e. /gblusr/dosd - and I not only did a chmod and chgrp on /gblusr/dosd but also on /gblusr - just to be sure that the complete tree structure can be accessed by everyone...

Problem is that only Root can view the device, if any other user attempts to load a view of the device, which is already mounted, they get access denied, and a empty folder view.

Did I miss something?

One thing I can't understand though, if I examine my "groups", I don't have a group named "user", but rather a group called "users" - but the fstab file shows "user" - singular, if I try and change permissions within the right-click "properties" of something, and change the "group" their, it wants to use "users" - plural. Which is right, and where does each one get used? Shouldn't a chgrp be to "users", or should fstab be "users" ??? I am getting lost on this subject, but the only thing I have currently is a Win98 hard drive, with a Wine test, that I can't even get to the device to test. (yes, this is the finicky DOS program, STILL -=- I can't believe I am STILL trying to get that stupid DOS program to run)

Help, please, anyone, throw me a bone here [giggle]
