Hi,

Forget to ask you one, How can we give user specific permission for any directory

for example, Let's say that we have 3 more users ( a, b, c ) other than root & we have two dir - dirA & dirB

I want to allow the users a & b to use (rwx) the dir - dirA user b should use (rwx) both the dir - dirA & dir B user c should not be able to use any of the dir root can use ofcource all the directories. How can I do this?

#chown a dirA #chgrp b dirA #chmod 770 dirA #chown b dirB #chgrp b dirB #chmod 700 dirB

for more users you can create a group say foo (use groupadd) now add user(s) to foo (use usermod) and I guess procedure remains similar as above

P.S. i deleted the mail of vfat AFAIK the defaults of vfat *are* write permissions only for root I think you have to use umask=000 instead of defaults in fstab

please man mount and goto section Mount options for fat also man bash and see umask
