Hi Lowell,

Thanks for your answer. 
It took me a while to respond because the message ended op on the 
Windows hemisphere of my pc. I also wanted to figure out what 'octal 
code' should be added to the -m parameter. I still don't understand the 
principle but '-m 333' should allow rw for all and mask x. 

I added this to my fstab, but the result is that the drives are no 
longer mounted. I'll have to look into that.

thanks again,

-Jay
