Hey all,

How can I change the write permissions on DOS partitions?  I have tried a 
chmod 0777 /dev/<device> and chmod 0777 /<mount-point> and neither have any 
effect.  What am I doing wrong?  I'm trying to do this for a USB storage 
device and a DOS partition I use for sharing some files between FreeBSD and 
XP.

TIA
