Does a user have EXEC permission for a stored procedure?

Given a user name and a stored procedure name, can someone provide me with
the TSQL code to set a boolean indicating whether that user has EXEC
permission to that proc?
The specific proc I'm interested in is xp_loginconfig.
Thanks in advance for your help,

xp_loginconfig default to members of the db_owner fixed database role in the
master database and members of the symin fixed server role, but can be
granted to other database users. So if the user is not a member of the dbo
role in master, you can use a simple GRANT statement like:
GRANT EXECUTE ON xp_loginconfig TO <youruser> ;

Thanks for your reply - it certainly gave me some things to try.
First off, if I run:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.sysprotects WHERE (id = OBJECT_ID('xp_loginconfig')
)
I get zero back. Also
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE (id = OBJECT_ID('xp_loginconfig'))
returns zero. So this looks like a dead end.
Now if I run:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.sysprotects WHERE (id = OBJECT_ID('myproc'))
I get one back. So far so good. Next I run:
SELECT dbo.sysusers.name FROM dbo.sysprotects INNER JOIN
dbo.sysusers ON dbo.sysprotects.uid = dbo.sysusers.uid
WHERE (dbo.sysprotects.id = OBJECT_ID('myproc'))
which returns a single name, but not 'Jones' - who does have execute
permission.
So this also looks like a dead end.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks, Hal

Thank you for replying. However, my question is not "how do you grant?",
rather it is "how can you tell?"

Did you run against the master database? Extended stored procs live
in master and are not found in newly created databases. Also, did you
explicitly
grant execute to the user(s) in question?
The query...
SELECT dbo.sysusers.name
FROM dbo.sysprotects
JOIN dbo.sysusers ON (dbo.sysprotects.uid = dbo.sysusers.uid)
WHERE (dbo.sysprotects.id = OBJECT_ID('xp_loginconfig'))
...looks ok. It just sounds like you need to explicitly grant execute
to all users you expect will have this permission outside of the dbo.
Here is the BOL snippet on this xp:
Execute permissions for xp_loginconfig default to members of the db_owner
fixed database role in the master database and members of the symin fixed
server role, but can be granted to other users.

Have you looked in to the PERMISSIONS() function?
