Well, we're off topic here ... there's no security issue. Most likely
the only "bug" is incorrect syntax. For one thing, fmask and dmask,
according to my man page, are not supported in 2.4.x kernels. Did you
try umask? Did you understand that these are the ABSENT permission bits?
For another thing, if the uid and/or gid option is not set the umask
might not matter. The init process runs as root:root, so without uid or
gid that's who owns all the files. I no longer have need for primitive
filesystems, but when I did I used a GID value with the users who might
need access, and I used a umask=002 or 007. You mentioned having set the
GID, but not what GID you used.
If you're still having trouble look for examples on Google. TRY "umask"
TOO. If still no luck, post your EXACT fstab line here, the EXACT mount
command you use (be sure to add in the "-v" option) and the complete
command output. I'm sure it's a simple thing to solve.
