:>     Why not simply mount the filesystem with the 'noexec' flag?
:
:This does not turn 'executable' bit off from files 
:and therefore does not prevent midc from 'executing' archives
:instead of 'entering into' them.

    Ah.  It kinda sounds like midc itself should be hacked as an 'official'
    solution rather then msdosfs, but I think you've done an excellent job
    to deal with your own users.

:>     The patch looks fine, but I don't like the idea of such a targeted
:>     hack being added to the mount code and we definitely do not want to
:>     go changing msdosfs's mount structure just before the release either.

:I understand this wouldn't be wise. The patch is for 4.5-RC1 just because
:I run it now :-) Of course, it should be tested in CURRENT first as usual
:but I just have not CURRENT and there is no need to rush before release.
