Success! Thanks for your input, but, alas,
answers supplied didn't solve the problem....
Trying to chmod a dos partition just doesn't
work, at least in RH 5.1 or 5.2. Those
settings must be changed (apparently) at mount time. Rather than having
two dos partitions user mountable (and modifying each member of the family's
.bash_profile) I really wanted to get the fstab settings to work. It seems
RH defaults to perm=755 even though I had perm=770 in the fstab setting.
What finally worked was the following:
/dev/hda1 /dos/c vfat
conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,umask=007 0 0
where gid=me gid=family group
Now, why does umask=007 work, but not
perm=770?
Have great Thanksgiving
everyone...
