Repaired Disk Permissions, and was wondering if this was anything to worry about

- ?(r)?z -

I don't know what the difference is between "-rw-------" and "-rw-r-----". But since the words "private" and "secure" were displayed in the write-up, I thought I would ask someone who knows if this is anything to worry about.

Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log

Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log

Are you familiar with UNIX file permissions?



r = read, w = write, x = executable.



"private" is a directory in your path ./private/var/log/secure.log.



"secure" is actually "secure.log"...the file with the permissions.



Your file is now owner readable/writable. Before repair, it was owner read/writable and group readable.
