what is the difference between 0777 and 1777?
[/quote]
`man chmod` details the various bit settings but the 1 is 'sticky'. It's required for /tmp

mount -a returns nothing for me!
[/quote]
Means there were no errors while mounting all available filesystems in fstab

I have a good article, written by someone else, and on my pages with his permission, at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/chmod.html
Makes it, IMHO, easy for people to understand it.
As for mount -a, as Trevor says, when it returns you to a command prompt, that's a good thing. It is one way to test that your fstab is working properly--if there are issues with your fstab file you will get errors, not a prompt.
EDIT: (I'd originally typed the link incorrectly, hence the posts below about not being able to find it and the correct url.)

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
