Right you are. I meant to say dirs/subdirs. Still trying to get M$ outta
my system.

Herein lies the problem. All are ext2 but, I haven't tried a dos ZIP
with this yet.
I mount drives as root, set the permissions so users can use everything,
logout, login as user and everything is hunky-dory.
I shutdown or reboot or whatever, login as user, mount the drives and I
can't write to them.
I login as root after the user can't write to the drive, set
permissions, and users will be able to write to the drives again.

No, unless I can figure a way to do it AFTER my card services are setup
since these drives are attached to PCMCIA. If I put them on auto, I get
errors when booting and they don't get mounted anyway. Getting that to
work better is my next project after I get this one solved.
Forgot to mention before that this is with RH5.0 and was having the same
problem (and mucho more) with 4.2 until I dumped it for the upgrade.
