Hi, I have mounted my windows 98 partition on /windows. All the directories in /windows and files have rwxr-xr-x permissions. As root I tried chmod to 775, but to no avail. It simply would not do it. I am running the csh as root. I also commented out the umask (022), in the .cshrc file, but it still would not modify permissions on any of the directories under /windows. Any idea as to how I can overcome this problem or why it is happening? Thanks. radhika ===== It's all a matter of perspective.
