/mnt/windows/ is automounting ok and the following works fine for read
access, but how do I enable write access (for anyone)?

[thufir@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fstab -n

" Thus, given a line
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM
using the
command
mount /dev/cdrom
or
mount /cd
For more details, see fstab(5). "
-man mount

I want each and every user to have read-write access to /mnt/windows/,
but can't quite get that.



thanks,

Try something like;

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat users,noauto,rw 0 0

Please review the manpage for mount and pay attention to the users, user and
owner switches

What about the umask options?

Use then if you need to, if the user(s) are part of the disk group the
user(s) do not need them. If needed 'umask=0' works just as well as
'umask=000' with vfat and ntfs partitions (read only of course).

Thanks, that worked perfectly. However, I had to reboot. I thought
that logging out would "reset" it...

"mount -a" should do it.
