Correct. I actually just added another filesystem with /mac being the
mountpoint with perms of 667. man chmod doesn't mention anything about a
sticky bit. I do see on my home Network Trash Folder perms of
drwx--Srwx. I don't grok the capital S--nor do I see any mention of THAT
in man. Could that be the elusive sticky bit?

Sorry for the confusion. Home directory mounting, perms, and trash work
perfectly.
I just haven't managed to comprehend unix perms yet; they're too alien
from what I know (Netware).
