BuXb Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 what's correct? I find both ways mentioned across the internet and also in this forum .. what are the advantages/ disadvantages of either/ or?

Gujal Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 644 is the correct one as it puts the kernel in rw-r--r-- meaning read and write by Root and all other can read. If you use 755, it will be rwxr-xr-x, it adds execute permission to everyone which is risky if some wise guy decides to run it from a terminal session it could potentially crash the system.

DiaboliK Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 usually its 644 but you can just drop it in root and run it it doesnt really care.
