Well, since windows and unix permissions don't map especially well it 
may not be terribly significant whether the files are executable or not. 
  If it is, you can consider mounting the share's partition with the 
noexec option.

You might also look at find's -perm.  It can be handy for identifying 
permission patterns you don't want.
