(we broke way more software via noexec) And went through a sensible process of resolving it. And its not just mutt. HSM stuff stops working which is a big deal as stuff clogs up. The /tmp/ cleaning tools go wrong as well. These are big deals because you seem intent on using a large hammer to force a change that should be done properly by other means. The /tmp cleaning for example can probably be done other ways in future but the changes should be in place first. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
