I haven't received help on
my "Directory Rights" post, but in further research, I've come up with
more questions:
Here I repeat my last post:
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a business need to be able ftp directly to a MSDOS
floppy.
I setup an account called misclc. Then I created the
directory /home/misclc/floppy using the command 'mkdir -m 0777
/home/misclc/floppy'. Next I mounted the floppy using 'mount -t msdos
/dev/fd0 /home/misclc/floppy' This gives me full rights to the floppy even
when through ftp using the misclc account. It worked once. Now
everytime I mount the floppy, the rights on the directory become 'drxwrxwr
w' (I lose the write option for others.) This keeps me from copying
files to the floppy during an ftp session. I can unmount the floppy,
delete my 'floppy' directory, recreate it with full rights, but when I mount
again, I lose the write for others again. help.
Also, I haven't figured out the method to alter directory
rights after creation. Can this be done?
----------------------------------------------------------------
And now I'm wondering why I can only mount the
floppy as root even though I am using the 'user' option in fstab? I think
I might get the functionality I describe above if I can mount the floppy AS the
user misclc INSTEAD of root. I'm not sure, but I was attempting from that
angle and got stopped again.
