I tried to use the following command: chmod 600 .netrc
but the file permissions did not change (-rw-r--r--) OS is NT2000. I checked all the file settings, etc. to make sure i had read/write/modify permission. I could remove/add write permissions (e.g. -r--r--r--), but could not eliminate the read permissions for groups and others. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
