The way I understood Rolf's comment was that he was pointing out a typo: the text reads "read and execute" permission when it should probably read "write and execute" permission. The way I understood your reply (although informative) was that you missed Rolf's point. Could be however that I've mis-understood both points :-) -- Mark Lawrence
