[oclug]managing permissions with smbfs

    But that wouldn't work either. That only affects how the files are
displayed when mounted. It still has no effect on the files' permissions on
the server. 
    I can't be the only one mounting a cgi-bin directory through samba, who
has to ensure that the files are executable.
