this is confusing to me. 
when setting permissions to file/directoreis etc
and using the 775 or whatver number how do you know if a user, group or owner is accessing the file or directory ?
is the a good chmod for dummies ?
and what is the differences between
chmod
chroot
chown 
and how to you decide or know which one to use.
I have the walnut creek book but still CHconfusing to me.

Thanks
Mark
