I.e. people insert a floppy disk or a ZIP medium in the box, logon via FTP and read/write their files. Then they take their disks away. They could NOT logon via telnet nor is there any keyboard at the ftp-box. Is it possible to write to a disk 'without' mounting the file system each time? Is there something like 'mount volatile'? To make it clear, I don't want to have any useraction like 'mount -t msdos'. Should I stay with KA9Q and DOS because this is not possible with FreeBSD. /gT/ -- Gerd Truschinski | Yes, this is the sort of scenario I Freie Universitaet Berlin | think up to amuse myself in the evenings.
