First of all, please reply to the list. I do read it so there is no need for this private mail. On Wed, 17 Dec 2008 23:05:26 +0100, you wrote:

This would most likely work, but it would allow all users on the SusE11 box to do everything in the share(s).

Yes, but why mount it as administrator and not as a normal user? That way anybody getting access would only have normal user rights.

Quick question, you say: "...and any user can mount it" I don't understand..how does a non-root user mount stuff?

A user can mount directories when an entry in fstab exists. Say for instance you have something like /dev/sda1 /media/flash ext3 user,noauto 0 0 A normal user can mount the block device by calling either 'mount /dev/sda1' or 'mount /media/flash', i.e. he can only state to mount or unmount a given configuration but not which device or where to mount it.
