My username is part of the wheel group and I want to change permissions so wheel can also write to this directory. I use chmod 774 /dos, but when I do a ls -l nothing has changed. I perform this as su'd to root. This directory is /dos which is the mount point for my physical disk 2. This disk is a fat32 drive. The fstab entry is /dev/ad1s1 /dos msdos rw 2 2 Why can't I change permissions? I thought root could? ********************************************** The box said "requires Win95 or better"...
