If I mount a DVD as root using mount, then it's mounted with execution enabled: mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd If I let mount use the entry in fstab, it is mounted with noexec, despite the fstab entry: /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto pamconsole,ro,exec,user,noauto 0 0 Anyone got an idea why mount ignores the exec option? -- Michael Eager eager@xxxxxxxxxxxx 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
