yes, that was it. i realized it after hubert's note about 'mount'. mea culp=
a.

anyway, i don't think it is a good idea to run these scripts directly, beca=
use
this is the only thing left on /var in standard system which needs to be
executable and thus denying mounting /var as noexec.

why not to run these scripts as arguments of shell instead of chmoding them
executable and run directly? i don't see any difference between these actio=
ns
(except that scripts could be written in various shells at this moment.. --
all +DEINSTALL scripts are written in /bin/sh on my system, however)

reactions?
