I'm running Kubuntu 7.10. My external HD has a single vfat partition and
I assume that the flash drive is also vfat.

So in the case of those file systems which don't support unix
permissions, isn't there a way to configure the default file permissions
attributed to them? After all, the executable permission has to be
attributed somewhere. Moreover, they may not support the unix file
permissions but that doesn't make the hability to run any external file
as executable any less of a security problem.
