The filesystem will most probably never handle permissions... and whatever the vfat module does is only a work around. |but now it seems this can be done, after all. can it be done on 2.4.3 ? |please tell me how (details please: which files to edit and what else to do). |thanks. This is how you do it with the mount command mount -o ro,showexec -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows/c (add the showexec option to your fstab if you mount all your vfat systems at startup) Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
