Hi there

Can anyone suggest what I should do?

I've added an existing drive to my RH7.2 system. It's formatted as FAT and 
has existing files I want to keep (for now).

I've created /mnt/fatdrive/ and mounted sdc1 (the drive) to it. I can view 
& write as root.

I want to make this drive avaialble as a public access drive (internally 
for my network users) via Samba and have created a Linux group called 
public_drive_users. I've setup the samba share and can view & read files 
from a Win client but can't write.

RH won't let me change the access control for /mnt/fatdrive/

How can I add/edit the access control to allow public_drive_users full 
read/write access?

something like this in your fstab perhaps?  (assuming gid of
public_drive_users is 1666)

/mnt/fatdrive   /dev/sdc1       vfat    gid=1666,umask=002  0 0

might do it for you...

Alex.
