How does a non-user go about issuing a mount command? :-). Assuming you meant non-root-users, you don't want to let them mount on things they don't own - the security implications are a nightmare. However, the ownership shouldn't be changing across boots. Can you provide more details? <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
