The numeric option is always interpreted as an octal number, and (in octal) 755 == 0755. That is probably a good thing, since some of us _always_ start an octal number with a 0 (shoot, I type 04555 for a setuid file, not just 4555). Having a leading zero mean anything else would be even more confusing. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
