This seems a bit too strong. If I try to exec a file that has read permission enabled but not execute permission, I'd like this to fail. You can just imagine sysadmins who turn off exec bits on old buggy apps to prevent users from executing them, who could get bit in the butt by the sort of unexpected behavior that would result from ignoring execute permission bits. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
