About your fstab line: do you need write permission?<br>
<br>
Is anthony a good uid? Shouldn't it be 500? Do you need a gid? Where<br>
did the masks and noauto come from? I don't see them in the ubuntu page<br>
I suggested earlier that you said you had tried to follow - but I found<br>
it pretty opaque in patches, too.<br>
<br>
This really looks like a problem for the ubuntu lists - although there<br>
are many people with buntu experience here it's a buntu problem.<br>
<br>
