(sorry for my _very_ (IMHO :) bad 'english)

hello,

I've got a FreeBSD 2.2.8 system installed on my home p200. 
I often use modem to dialup to i-net provider and explore the NET.
I've created some accounts of my friends, and they telnet
to my host when I'm on-line. What should I do to allow
other users not to read my mounted disk drives, such as
my ms-dos partition? There I've got some data, which I don't
wanna make world readable. I tried to try group in /etc/group
called 'localdisk' and chown mounted dir /main and /kieszen
(name of my disk :) to group 'localdisk' (I want only me and
my family to read data from ms-dos partitions), but I've got
as following:

zunpc:zuntum:/# tail -1 /etc/group
localdisk:*:500:zuntum,root,mama,assiut

zunpc:zuntum:/# chown :localdisk main
chown: main: Invalid argument

I tried to execute exactly commands I showed above to chown
other dir - it worked, but it doesn't work to 'disk mount dir'

Pliz help :)
