But Adam, the executable bit and the "noexec" option only prevents executables from being run directly. It does not prevent scripts from being run indirectly, by interpreters, such as "perl myscript.pl" or "sh myscript.sh". For this reason I insist on people not associating script filetypes with they interpreters (ie. gnome-vfs not shipping with these associations included). -- Fabio Gomes de Souza <fabio@xxxxxxxxxx> (+55 81 9127-0597) .- GS2 TECNOLOGIA DA INFORMACAO LTDA :: www.gs2.com.br |- IT Infrastructure :: Security :: Embedded systems :: Linux `- Olinda, Brazil - +55 81 3492-7777 - negocios@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
