Title: NFSv4 mount point does not allow binary files to run when permissions are set only to execute Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Natty: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Affected releases: - Lucid, Natty when running NFSv4 One cannot run binary files when permissions are set to ---x--x--x on systems running NFSv4. Expected behaviour: - Allow binaries to run by just having --x (execute) permissions. This works when the mount point is created using NFSv3. According to the literature if it is a binary it makes an exec() call to the kernel therefore you don't need to have (read) permissions on the file. PS: Scripts run as expected when they have the following r-x permissions. Since scripts have to pass by an interpreter ( perl, bash ) they do need to have (read and exec) permissions. Steps to reproduce 1. Install nfs 2. configure /etc/export /data/nfs *(rw,fsid=0,sync,no_subtree_check) 3.
