The problem. FAT32 has no concept of permissions.
<snip> Of course, mounting the device in the aforementioned way (fstab line), every user is allowed to mount the disk and write data where desidered: but even if I trust my collegue I would prefer restricted access to directories, in order to have the user luca as the owner of LUCA directory and gio as the owner of GIO directory. I have encountered problems trying to change ownership to directories even if using default options in mounting the device.
You would need to format the drive with a file system that actually supports permissions. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
