I've read about 10 pages on unix permissions.   

So far I've learned that a directory is a file with a listing of 
subdirectories and files.  And the d in drwxr-xr-x indicates the file is a 
directory.  And if it begins with -, it's a file -rwxr-xr-x.    Also the - 
separates permissions of the Owner - Group - World.
r = read w=write x=execute.   Pretty simple.

What I don't understand is the r listed twice in the Owner section.  None of 
the pages I've read explain this or I missed it somewhere.
