Hi,
I have several users ssh-ing into a Debian server with a portable drive attached. The users want to write data to this disk, and I don't want to give them the su password.
The disk mounts automatically with permissions: drwx------
Which means that only root or the owner of the drive can write to it. I have chmod-ed and read man pages till I am blue in the face, and this is going nowhere.
What's the easiest way for me to give these non-superusers the ability to write to this drive?
As is, they can't even "cd" to it- they get the unhelpful "cd: can't cd to..."
Clearly I am missing something fundamental. I'd appreciate any help. Ideally I'd like the machine to automatically mount this drive as RW to any user any time it gets plugged in. This is a single use, throw away install with a trustworthy group of 5-6 users.
