just did a quick search on the web and found this site...
http:// webhelp.usit.net/ tutorial/ unixfile.html
seems to explain it well enough.
basically...
- the owner owns the file
- the group is everyone in the same group as the owner
- other is everyone else
access can be granted in any combination as follows
- read only
- write
- execute
as to what directories/files should get what settings? Thats down to you. The bare minimum, just as long as the code works.
that's a start anyway.
cheers
