wine users - Jul 2002 - Problems with non root users

Hello,

     I have ran the wine version that comes with Redhat 7.1 and 7.3. To get 
my windows programs, I mount the windows partition. My problem is that I can 
only get Quicken 2001 to run under wine when exicuted as root. (either by 
logging in as root or logging in as someone else and using the su command 
then starting wine). When I try to run quicken under wine using another 
user, I get error messages and wine quits.
     Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you for your time.

I'd put this in a FAQ, but it is asked in so many different places :-)

In /etc/fstab:

  /dev/hda1 /win vfat rw,gid=1003,umask=002 0 2

Where (of course) /dev/hda1 actually points to the windoze partition, /win
is the Linux filesystem path to your windoze partition, gid=1003 points to
some user-group you create (I created "win" with gid=1003) and you
then add
any user who should be able to write to the windows partition to group
"win".
