I would show an example of a chmod, and then ls -l of this file, and read with them (slowly) the interpretation of all those x's and r's and -'s and w's. also for a directory, to see the d. Better, I would ask any of the listeners to interpret that for us. > > 23,24(twice): in "rather then": s/then/than/ > > actually, 3 times on all slides together. fixed.

"Tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them". regarding the octal chmod: I do not think it is good to use it, but I think they should learn it exists, and the difference between octal chmod and umask. could get very confusing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
