This gives the following permissions to all files & directories:
drwxrwx--- 6 windows windows 4096 May 11 11:58 /mnt/windows/Documents and Settings
-rwxrwx--- 1 windows windows 186 Dec 27 2002 /mnt/windows/autoexec.bat
I think it's a bad idea for all files to be automatically listed as executable. Files shouldn't be executable unless absolutely necessary.
What I want is for user 'windows' and members of group 'windows' to be able to:
- Read, write & access directories. Unix directories need to be executable if you want access, correct?
- Read, write but not execute normal files
I'm hoping for somethign like this with a single umask:
drwxrwx--- 6 windows windows 4096 May 11 11:58 /mnt/windows/Documents and Settings
-rw-rw---- 1 windows windows 186 Dec 27 2002 /mnt/windows/autoexec.bat
In the options, when you add user it also implies noexec.
noexec will not allow any binaries on the mounted file system to be executed.
Try "/lib/ld-linux.so.2 </mountdir/partition/bindir/binary>" to see if that statement is true. If not, and you need to disable execs outside people's $PATH properly, head over to grsecurity.net and patch your kernel. The TPE settings are what you're looking for.
