Hello all,

I need to be able to start a script located on USB stick which is
mounted as VFAT with "showexec" option.

Where can I change the automount options to get "exec" option for all
connected USB sticks?

PS: On 10.04 was usb stick mounted without "noexec" or "showexec"
option and therefore it is possible to start a script.

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe that no one knows the solution here.

Please help me!


From mount's manpage:

showexec
If set, the execute permission bits of the file will be allowed only if the extension part of the name is .EXE, .COM, or .BAT. Not set by default.

Try appending the script names with a .bat extension on your vfat formatted usb drive.
