Wow! Good catch! I missed that!

And I note that ".." doesn't even appear on an ls -a

That tells you too, Chris Rees :-)

Ok, I'll stick with 0111 - also, the reason I use 0111 instead of just
the default 755 (or whatever) is that it's an alert to me if some mount isn't
mounted for whatever reason.

To me, 0111 means mount-point only, period.

Cheers,
Jamie
