As Windows doesn't have an executable attribute, it is not clear how to solve this. I believe that the plain (non-VB) vfat file system for linux has an option either to make all files or no files executable. I guess that you could achieve the same thing on a VB-share by using options on your mount command. If the file system on the Windows host is NTFS, it would be possible for VB to store the linux attributes in an extended attribute. But I don't think that very many people need that feature: storing linux executables on windows-drives is probably rarely done. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
