I am having a bit of trouble with UNIX file permissions. Is a script
considered an 'other' user?
Would anyone care to enter into a short discussion about the hows and whys of
the best way to run directory and file permissions? What should directories
and files used by a particular script be set to and why?
Does a directory's permissions affect each and every sub directory? or just
the files immediately below it?
One specific question... I gave a directory write permissions, but the
script was not allowed to create a new file to that directory until I gave it
execute permissions. Why is that?
Thanks for your help...
Tim
