It should also be worth noting that if you want a dir to be readable then you must also have x set. So r-x for other would allow that. If say /home is owned by root/root and other has r-- (no x) then no one who is not root or root group will be able to see into the directories below home at all even though technically they have permission to them. So if you set read on a dir always also set x. On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 6:25 AM George N.
