If you can use the bit patern for s it's a 2 so permissions of 700 read/write/execute,none,none with an s ends up being 2700. The chmod man page says you have to specify the s not use the octal string. Then again I may have an old man page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 4:51 AM Subject: permissions > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all. > > I know that r,w,x is 4,2,1 respectively, but could someone please tell > me what the bit pattern is to specify s?
