As luck would have it, I found the answer right after posting to the list. I found the answer here:
http://www.nylug.org/pipermail/nylug-talk/2003-March/011457.html In a nutshell, mount the partition at the desired mount point then change the owner, group, and permissions as needed. It should remain. I did just that, rebooted the box and all is as needed. Once again, a simple answer that isn't prominent in the man page. Sigh... Hopefully, this will help someone searching the archives. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
