Create a directory, and mount the partition onto it. The rw permission for everyone is chmod -R 777 /mountpoint This, however, is a very bad practice. The proper one is to give permission to the intended user/group only, and double enforce it with samba. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 15:09:24 up 35 min, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
