-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 For even more information, do a "man chmod" for all the gorry details on file permissions. Since you're dealing with a text file, you should probably not need the execute permission on the file so then chmod 644 would be plenty adequate. Note that chmod 644 would yield - -rW-r--r--... Umask determines a default permission given to eny newly created files under your current user account.
