file permisions

[ross <nospam [at] virgin.net>]

can anyone help?

i'm stuck with with file permisions for vfat file systems.
i want to configure the home directory for a standard user on a vfat
file system but i can't set the file permisions to rw for users (root
has the access i want but i don't want to run as root)
i'm running suse 6.3 i've tried setting it via fstab file / yast / kde's
kfstab and manually with chmod rwx and chmod 777. the books have been of
little help as the file permisions seem to be automatically checked. i
found a setting for this check in yast which i switched off. i changed
the file settings in mtab. during bootup, a message apears showing the
file permissions reverting back to the previous settings. rw noexec
nosuid nodev

any idea's?
