If I remember correctly, directories usually have rwxr-xr-x (755) permissions. The 'r' (read) permission allows programs to be read and run from the directory and the 'x' (execute) permission allows commands like 'ls' to read through the directory. For example, [user@machine dir]$ ls -ld test drwxr-xr-- 2 root root 1024 Apr 24 21:20 test [user@machine dir]$ ls -l test ls: test/a: Permission denied ls: test/b: Permission denied
