Generally speaking, this message means that the program cannot be
executed because of the permission bits; see chmod(2) for more info.

To solve it, type (as root):
 # chmod a+x <program path>
This will allow anybody with an account to access the program.
Whether or not this is a Good Thing in any given circumstance is left
as an exercise to the reader.

Cheers,
