Anyone using Mandrake 9.1 (Bamboo) ?

I have 3 fat32 partitions on /mnt/win_c, /mnt/win_d and /mnt/win_e

I want access to them for two users.
OK, chmod 777 the mount points
Whoops, Mandrake instantly changes them back to 744. (Security level is set
to "high")

Open the Mandrake Control Centre and delve about the innards of directory
permissions. Whatever I set won't stick

Edit /etc/security/msec/perm.local to show
/mnt/win_c/ current 777  (Also try /mnt/win_c/ current 7777)
/mnt/win_d/ current 777
/mnt/win_e/ current 777

Still doesn't wan't to let the permissions stick

Any ideas?

Regards
Gordon
