You have already seen how the UNIX system uses file
and directory permissions to control who can access which files.
So far, you have learned to manipulate these permissions using
symbolic mode,
like:
chmod a+x newfile
This says, ``Change the mode of newfile so all
users have execute permission.'' Before you learn how to
control a file's default permissions, you need to
understand how to specify permissions using
absolute mode.
