Hi All, I would like to have read and write access my Windows partition as a user. At this time users only have read permissions. The Windows partition is shown as belonging to the root group and owned by root. I want the users Ralph and Linda to be able to read and write their data on the /windos. When I try and change permissions with KFM the changes do not stick. When I try and use chmod and chgrp from root there are error messages, trying to use chmod users+rwx /windos gets a report as invalid mode. Since I really don't know what I am doing in Linux, I am sure there is a combination of operator and syntax errors at work here. The changes I would like are to have the users be able to read and write to /windos immediately upon logging in, without having to manually configure or load anything. Full access to /windos would be nice, full access to about 10 data directories under /windos would be OK, having to manually change permissions on hundreds of files would not work. The system is Suse 7.0 and the /windos is vfat. This is a fairly recent and fresh install of Suse 7 as I wanted to try the Reiser FS. I thought Suse had read and write access to the windows partition in 6.2 and 6.3 but maybe I was content with read only access at that time or maybe I was luckier on the install. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: rsanford@telusplanet.net Date: 31-Oct-00 Time: 23:47:54 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
