I am trying to convince autofs to allow others than root to access the automounted filesystems, and I'm failing miserably. I can find no information on this subject in the man pages. It appears the problem is not directly related to autofs, though, because I fail with standard mount as well. Here is what I did to test:
asterix:/# mkdir test asterix:/# chown root:disk test asterix:/# dir test drwxrwxr-x 2 root disk 1024 Jun 23 21:56 test asterix:/# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda6 /test -o user,suid,exec asterix:/# dir test drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Jun 22 19:31 test asterix:/# dir /dev/hda6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 6 Jul 21 1998 For some reason, the mount command changes the permissions of /test right back to what they were. If I log in as a user and try to access (write to) the mounted filesystem I'm denied access. The same happens with autofs mounted filesystems. What can I do to fix this? TIA, Gertjan. -- Gertjan Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Boot Control home page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~gklein/bcpage.html
