  18.     Wouldn't making a executor group and putting the proper uid in 
  19. /etc/groups and then doing:
  20.  
  21. chgrp -R executor /usr/local/lib/executor/ExecutorVolume
  22. chmod -R g+w /usr/local/lib/executor/ExecutorVolume
  23.  
  24.     The files would then be protected without having to use root to run 
  25. Executor.
