I think I can answer this one, at least. Thinking of the last permissions' set as 'world' is misleading. This last set is more properly the 'other' class. And in fact, the first two sets (owner and group) comprise entirely separate classes, not one (the owner) encased in the other (the group). E.g. 007 permissions (------rwx) does *not* give 'everyone' read/write/execute permissions; it only gives people who are (1) not the owner/in the owner class, and (2) not in the owning group/in the group class. Here's a few words from wikipedia about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions#Classes -- Bryan Burke IT Administrator Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Tennessee, Knoxville [email protected] (865) 974-4694 _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
