Jam traditionally has 711, and other info I've come across has: chmod 700 command executable script of binary (private) chmod 755 command public script (cgi perl script) chmod 711 command public binary (compiled code) while others use 755. I guess I don't understand why one should be the default over the other. What problems are caused by using 711 ? > I can test some instruments to see how well it works once I get it to > compile. None of the USB instruments will work, because the USB driver is incomplete :- see usbio_bsd.c. > Is there any chance you could incorporate the "good" bits already (into the > dev zip), so I have a new basepoint to test from? I've done so, but haven't updated the website just yet. Graeme.
