\_ SMTP quoth Victor Odhner on 11/14/2001 12:46 as having spake thusly:

\_ I would appreciate any advice on how I could write to Win98
\_ files from a Linux application as an ordinary user, other
\_ than making my application suid root.  I guess I'm hoping
\_ for some obscure option or tool that will bridge the gap
\_ for me.

Check uid,gid, + mask settings for the 'vfat' file system type as
doc'd in the man page.
