Just a quick question - what's the most 'elegant' way to mount my dos partitions under linux so that only root and one user has access to them?

I know that to do this I've basically got to

# mount /dev/hda1 /dos/c -tvfat -ouid=500

(where 500 is the user I want to have access, and ther permissions for /dos are rwx------)

So my question - I've seen that I can replace the 'defaults' strings in fstab for uid=500 to mount with that option but then YaST will change them back when I next configure something. So which is the best method? Where do I send emails to ask for the ability to specify options from YaST (Lenz?).

Hmm, does YaST really mess with /etc/fstab? Maybe it helps, if you put this specific mount command after the line "# End of YaST-generated fstab lines". At least it doesn't mess with my NFS-mounts this way... Hope that helps! I usually use the following options for the kind of filesystems: "noauto, user, exec". But I'm not sure, if this is, what you were looking for...
