If I understood well, vim is executed as non privileged user, not root.

But the permissions of all files (inexistent in ntfs) are set
according to a predefined mask which, in this case, includes execution
privilege for user, goup and other which, of course, can be a relative
security risk if the owner is root. Maybe that is what you would
mean...

NOTE: The write permission in the mask cannot be removed because, for
directorys, this means the "enter" permission (read and write
permissions in directorys always belongs to its contents). Then, the
only way to remove execution permission for root in a ntfs files is
setting the ownership of the whole filesystem to other user..



Regards.
