I can't think of a situation where it's dangerous to grant execute permission, unless the executable is set-id. If you can read the file then you can always copy it off somewhere else, set the execute bit yourself, and execute it. If it isn't set-id and allows you to do something bad, well, you could clearly have done that without the aid of the executable. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
