[H-GEN] Rights

[Harry Phillips]

[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and
Unix-related topics. ]

Yes Michael gave the clue that I needed to work it out for myself.

I changed my fstab entry to include ,uid=502, 

As I said I looked and looked at the rights and tried to change them. I didn't
know you could do it when mounting, now I do.

Regards
Harry
