Yeah I forgot this, you can change the df command but a user will
be able to run cat /proc/mounts and see the partitions since it is
readable by everyone.

I don't know enough to go screwing around with the /proc or /dev
filesystems and their permissions.

I took a knock on the head this weekend - that's what I'm blaming
the oversite on anyway.

Rgs,

Matt

Yeah, but:

  $ cat /proc/mounts

is just soooo much easier.
