VFAT doesn't, but the linux VFS does, regardless of the underlying FS. If you mount a disk with the gid option, all files will be owned by that group, and members of that group will have read/write access to the files (if the default mode permits...) Something in /etc/fstab like this should work: /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosfs vfat defaults,gid=507,umask=003 0 0 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
