Be careful there, members of the 'disk' group can do nasty things on your debian box too. Perhaps create a new group who can access the windows partition, put those users into the group, then use the gid= parameter in fstab. However, this doesn't affect the uid. I can't test this further since I haven't run windows since 3.1 and never played with ntfs. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
