I guess I have to look at the code. A file with a .exe extension is supposed to be executable by default.

Hmm. Interesting. I don't think this is the scenario we're seeing in the mailing list, though. I don't recall people mentioning multiple domains. Do you have an idea about why a fresh install on a new system would have problems? Is this merely because there is no mkpasswd -d happening? cgf
