Execute permission for root?

[Andrew Morgan]

I believe if you take the POSIX.1e draft as a whole, it becomes clear
that the root user is no different from any other user. Thus,

no to this one:
> -rwxr--r--   1 andy     users      143642 Nov 28 20:52 script1

yes if root is in the 'users' group and no otherwise:
> -rw-r-xr--   1 andy     users      143642 Nov 28 20:52 script2

no to this one:
> -rw-r--r--   1 andy     users      143642 Nov 28 20:52 noscript

Cheers

Andrew
