I've got a dual boot Linux/NT box with a 2GB VFAT partition that I want
to share between the two OS'. I want to give normal users full rwx
rights on the drive (mounted as /dos) and have specified "rw" in the
fstab entry. Unfortunately, only root seems to be able to write to /dos
even when I try to do a chmod 777 on directories and files (it never
seems to grant group or other "write" rights). Is there something I'm
missing? What should my fstab entry look like to acomplish this?
	
	thanx & later,

FWIW - all users can read from the drive.
