This is not the topic of the list, but I think I know why they do so. I'll 
explain.


I noticed that linux users were sending me text files (.po gettext files) 
with execute permissions, and I wondered why.

Users have such things as usb sticks, which come formatted as vfat, and the 
default in linux is to mount them with execute permissions, both for files 
and directories. IMO, that is crazy.

This could be solved if vfat mounts had the options 
"fmask=0117,dmask=0007" or similar set by default.

Another cause for this weird executable files are samba shares. I guess a 
similar measure could be applied by default, too.


Whom should be told about this, I dunno.
