Note that this happens because FAT doesn't have any concept of an executable setting. In most cases, this isn't really a problem, just an annoyance. Users can always change the permissions of files they own anyway. And if they copy something from the FAT partition to the UFS partition, they own the copy. mount_msdosfs(8) has a -m option (and -M, so you can still have the directories executable) to change the observed permissions. It's an all-or-nothing solution, but that's probably what you want anyway. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
