How do I mount a usb drive (fat32) rw for all users?



Hello,

I have a USB drive formatted as fat32 that I would like to be
writeable by all users.

I was used on Linux that all fat drives were automatically rw by all
users but not so on Netbsd.

Assuming the drive is sd1e, I have mounted it as:
(I am writing from Windows now, so I am recalling)

# mount /dev/sd1e /mnt

but I get permission errors when trying to save files on it as non root.

I thought I could mount it like this:

# mount_msdos -u 777  /dev/sd1e /mnt

In this case I get no errors, but actually the files are not saved.

I remember once mounting it successfully with the option:

# mount_msdos -u ottavio /dev/sd1e /mnt

where 'ottavio' is my regular user, but it didn't work.

I am surely missing something obvious, but I need your help with this.

Thanks
