Re: Executable bit check


Well, all I know is that I cannot execute a script on Cygwin unless the execute bit is set. In order not to be bothered by Windows files I created a separate directory, /home/<id>, set $HOME to this value, and also put it in /etc/passwd.

Or, could you remove yourself from those other groups that give you the execute ability?

I assume you're not on a fat* disk.

HTH,
