My solution involves FAT16 formatted usb disk that mounts normally under 
windoze but is mounted by automount under linux. automount.sh passes the 
necessary user id and group to the mount options so the files appear to be 
'mine'. I also disable exec. Running something coming from the outside by 
clicking on a link gives me the shivers.
