However if you really want to prevent OTHER+GROUP from reading and
executing your shell scripts, then "chmod 500 /bin/ls.sh" is your
simplest solution. That does the same thing on both the local and remote
filesystems.

I'm totally aware of the fact that this approach to enhance the security is dysfunctional and pretty lame [sigh].
Anyway, it was done like this in ancient days - and never worked but never did any harm either.

Now it's not working anymore and the only thing changed is the kernel.
So to get back to my initial question: *Is this a NFS bug?* Or has maybe something else changed in the kernel?
