I've read in the archives that I can issue the command # sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1 as root to allow this (which works), but I don't want to have to do this every time I reboot. Do I need to build something into the kernel? I seem to remember under Linux that I was able to add the argument 'user' to the fourth column of the fstab file to allow this (which worked), but there appears to be no equivalent in FreeBSD. ----------------------------------------------- Michael J.
