Is there any way to turn off access to mounted MS-DOS FAT partitions?
I've got commercial software on my DOS drives that, as it sits right
now, can be easily copied by anyone on the system.  I've tried chmod
and chown, but the changes are ignored.  As an odd aside, I tried
'touch'ing my /msdos directory, but it still says that the last access
was December 31, 1979.

The way I figure it, my only courses of action are to either mount the
FAT partitions under a directory that only I have access to, or
dismount the drives altogether.  Figured I'd check here first before
doing any of that, however.

Cheers,
-Wes
