Unable to browse partitions mounted by root in debian sarge 3.1

Dear Eluggers,

system generally mounts partitons reading fstab

all my partitions are mounted to /mnt folder

but when I login as another user I am unable to cd to the various folders in the mounted directory

eg if /mnt/c contains foo directory, then unable to cd to foo

before mounting my partition to /mnt/c

perms are drwxr-xr-x

after the file system gets mounted ( by root or after reboot )

perms are drwxr--r--

lack of x in group & others is main cause for not being able to do cd

but after mount command is issued who monitors and changes the perms

also after mounting changing of perms don't have any effect manually either

I had not faced such a problem in Fedora ( or prior Redhat versions)

Any help will be great

U could mail me at ssmahadik@yahoo.com

This is my first post here, I am from Mumbai, India
