Hi All, First, I apologise if this isn't a kernel question, but I think it is related. Slackware 10 base, 2.6.15.6 I am normal user, in groups users and wheel. Why can I do this: nick@linuxamd:nick$ which ls /usr/bin/ls nick@linuxamd:nick$ ls -lsa /usr/bin/ls 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2004-07-22 22:52 /usr/bin/ls -> ../../bin/ls nick@linuxamd:nick$ cd /bin nick@linuxamd:bin$ sudo chmod 111 ls nick@linuxamd:bin$ ls -lsa ls 76 ---x--x--x 1 root bin 72608 2004-03-16 02:08 ls I shouldn't be able to execute 'ls' as I can't read it, shouldn't it?
