Re: permissions for redirected disk

True, but I would imagine the drive mapping is specified by the RDP protocol 
though, which is controlled from the server side.  I still think your best 
bet is to persuade the Windows server to remove executable permissions from 
the \\tsclient\*.

As a short-term bodge, you could use find in cron:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/find /home/nerijus/PVM_SF -type f ! -perm 666 -exec chmod 
666 '{}' \; &>/dev/null
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/find /home/nerijus/PVM_SF -type d ! -perm 777 -exec chmod 
777 '{}' \; &>/dev/null

You should be able to replace nerijus with a "*" if you have multiple users 
with the same structure.

I haven't tested these commands, just typed them from the top of my head, they 
look right to me though.

Yes I know, dreadful, how do I sleep at night.

This mailing list is so quiet, can't help thinking there must be millions of 
rdesktop users chatting somewhere else!
