Moof! If da0 is your zip drive, then you can rest assured that it does not contain /, /usr, or /var. Those are either gonna be higher-numbered da devices (doubtful) or IDE devices. But yes, this is a personal workstation and the ownerships are only done at graphical console login. Obviously on a shared server you don't want users doing any mounting/unmounting of any devices. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
