I would like to try to telnet (or ssh, if I could set it up) so that I could access it at school, but I'm also allowing friends to check the place out (they have no write access except for the HOME directory). But I ran to a problem because I don't want my friends to see most (but not all) of my mounted DOS partition. Does anyone have any idea how to
I'm afraid that if it's a FAT16 partition, mounted as type msdos or vfat, then it's an all-or-nothing case. Either they can see it all, or they can't. You may be able to get some stuff sorted out by playing with symlinks, but I'm not sure whether that would work. I suppose one option would be to mount the DOS partition as type UMSDOS, for which, IIRC, you can assign different permissions to individual files. See 'man mount' for more detailed information.
change the group of files mounted as a DOS partition? I don't want to
If you wanted to change the permissions for an msdos or vfat partition as a whole, then you would do this with the umask option in the mount command. Again, this is covered in the mount man page.
add myself to the group root because this could be a source to breech my system.
That's a sensible move...
