Only thing I could think of is setuid mount_ntfs. It's really weird, cause I can't get ntfs to mount under normal userid even with correct permissions. What you can do shouldn't be possible for 2 or 3 reasons. I wonder if it's just ntfs, can you mount another partition as normal user? Like, unmount /usr and remount as normal user or if you have a less busy partition like /data or whatever. -- Mel
