[Samba] can't access vfat partition running mandrake 9.1
I have a vfat partition inside my linux box i tried to share it but no body can access it. have to mount the patition in order to share it which i did and make a symlink inside my samba share directory pointing to the mounted partition. the directory are all owned by root. There is a problem also if i mount it. it keep changing the permission of the mounted partion from drwxr-xr-x to drwxr--r-- and this is i dont know how to tweak it.

Almar, Why do you want to share a VFAT partition? Did you check the man page for mount? man mount What arguments are you passing to the mount command? - John T.
