Hi Rusty, I have a small doubt about the permission restriction (User perms >= group perms >= other perms) in VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS(). Please Note that permission field of User, Group or Other consists of three bits. LSB is EXECUTE permission, MSB is READ permission and the middle bit is WRITE permission. Say for example, permission value is "0431". Here User has only READ permission whereas Group has both WRITE and EXECUTE permission and Other has EXECUTE permission. I guess, it is not good to give Group the WRITE permission whereas User itself has no WRITE permission. May be, it's better to check those three permissions bit wise rather than as a whole. I already had posted my query at:
