This problem I might be able to help with. To be able to switch users for a mountable device you must have the: "fstab" parameter: "users" (note the 's') set. If you have: "user", the account that mounts a device owns it till that account unmounts it. If your device is listed in: "/etc/fstab" just add that after "defaults" (NOT before). If not, I don't know if there is any way to set it. > Anybody know where the FAQs, Howtos etc are to be found? I have searched Google and found none that are any good. -- JRT ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
