Hi All,
John, to execute a file, you need to give it the right permissions.
Correct
Do this from the command prompt, 'chmod +x filename' minus the quotes from within the directory the file is in.
Correct
You must be su'd in as root to do this.
Incorrect. You only need to have ownership of the file, which he does if he downloaded the file as his normal user.

Hi All,
a little curious about this now. If a user downloads a bin or script file that is coded to attack a system, and the local user can set execution, the executed file won't damage the system due to it not being a root file, yes..? Have I got that correct..? Hope so. Cheers.
