I intend to send you other mistake I might find unless you tell me to stop. In section 3.3.1 on this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/permissions.html The last paragraph says: "A comma separated list can be provided when more than one set of changes to a file must be made. For example the following command will remove the groups and ``world'' write permission on FILE, then it adds the execute permissions for everyone: % chmod go-w,a+x FILE " The command does not do what the text says. The text says "world" but the command is for "Other". I suggest you change either one or the other. Have fun with the mistake, wrestle it to the ground and make it submit. Greets, Louis Tan
