Putting a directory like /tmp (with the same permissions on the USB drive)
would allow any user to create files and directories there. If this user sets
permissions for own files to allow others to read and write, any other user is
able to overwrite the contents of this files.
Any user can mount th

I don't understand what is hard about this. I mean if you don't care about
security, just make sure the mount has a umask of 770 (or whatever) and make
an export, reload exports, and mount it from wherever you want.
What am I missing?
Also, if you want to call osx Unix, call it broken unix. Most

Hi,
I'd like to share the data saved on an external USB drive between
different (GNU/Linux) machines, each having different users. Each user
should be able to mount the drive and read and write any files as he or
she pleases. The users aren't necessary root themselves.
Is there a way to impleme
