I seem to be having trouble running a daily cron job. This seems to be
the only job that has trouble - nothing else has the "BAD FILE MODE"

I googled the problem and found a suggestion that BAD FILE MODE probably
means permissions trouble - but when I checked, it all looks fine. I'm
looking for suggestions on how to proceed.

Here is the error message from my cron log:

Any suggestions as to where the problem lies?

I recently spotted this problem as well.

You can either update or run this command to fix it:

        chmod a-x /etc/cron.d/squidGuard
