How, exactly? Naturally, noexec is noexec. Speaking of mount options, any of you with an handy Linux box, please answer this one: How does Linux respond when asked to execute an executable with suid bit on, but when on a nosuid-mounted filesystem? Is it running with the uid of the executing user? Not running at all? If not running, is it -EACESS or -EPERM? What about sgid?
