Hi, I always see default perms on all files on my /windows/C* as executable ALSO. By default. And I can not change these - using chmod. So I feel that it is not a chmod but a mount issue/property. What setting do I give in my fstab to make sure that the perms appear non-executable for windows files? Also, what settings to I give while creating an ISO image. Benefit and hint : If you are taking files from an ISOfs [CD], or from Windows FS, or browsing .mp3/.divx files in such media, then if you are using mc, pressing enter does not launch an app to handle that file, but it tries to execute it. A thing that we do not want to do. -- Rohit +9122 5692 2101 D2,floor-3,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599@bplmobile.com The information below is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recepients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
