RE: RE: RE: Chmod

You're absolutely right! My bad...

At first, when I read your post, I though, "This can't be right! I've been doing this for ages now!" And then I tested it:

johnny@chthon:~/tmp > mkdir foobar
johnny@chthon:~/tmp > ls -l
total 1
drwxr-xr-x   2 johnny   users        1024 May  4 07:10 foobar
johnny@chthon:~/tmp > perl -e 'umask(0666); chmod(0777,'foobar');'
johnny@chthon:~/tmp > l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   3 johnny   users        1024 May  4 07:10 ./
drwx------  12 johnny   users        2048 May  3 23:09 ../
drwxrwxrwx   2 johnny   users        1024 May  4 07:10 foobar/
johnny@chthon:~/tmp >

'nough said! I've been doing it wrong for ages... Thanks!
