That being said, an "ugly hack" would be to place the directory on something like an MSDOS partition, and mount it with a specific mask... did I mention that would be ugly? Even more "fun" might be to modify mount_null to have a mask option... Indeed, mount_null is broken, so I think *any* patches for it at all would be welcome. ;-) -Paul.
