Maybe your mount defaults to noexec? Try mounting it with defaults,rw,exec and see if that works. (The 'user' option just allows non-root users to mount and unmount the partition. Although that may be what you want, I suspect that it isn't.) For the home directory, I would suggest also mounting it as nosuid, and you should probably consider nodev for any mountpoint that doesn't have /dev under it. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
