Oh, it's definitely possible... From my fstab: genma:/var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail nfs hard,intr,nosuid,noexec 0 0 Granted, that exact line won't work for you, since you're mounting a local filesystem instead of an NFS share, but it can be done... Check out man mount for info on how to control the permissions of the mounted directory. Specifically the --umask option. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
