Thamks OLI and Ron! Ron, You said

Specify that a non-root user can mount the drive in /etc/fstab, like so: /dev/hdd4 � � � /zip � �auto � �noauto,user 0 0

but its already like this; what I could do was to change 'auto' in 'hfs'; so I got two entries /dev/sda4 /zip auto noauto,user 0 0 and /dev/sda4 /zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 but this works only if I am a root user. OLI I tried while adding /dev/sda5 /zip hfs noauto,user 0 0 but of course it says that sda5 is a non valid device (and present in /dev as sda4 - I know that I have to use mknod in some way, but up to now, no success... sic!) Anyway, thx a lot! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/
