It's even easier than that. Set the ownership and permissions on your mount point such that it's writable only by root. Put an entry in fstab so that the backup file system is user-mountable. When the backup file system is mounted, the mount point will assume the ownership and permissions of the mounted file system's root. Nothing mounted, nothing written (not by a mere user, at least). -- Paul _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
