[CLUE-Tech] Directory permissions -- problems with '-w--w--w-'

[David Jackson]

BOF --

I knew I saw a thread about this someplace, and I did on athe apache-user
list:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&w=2&r=1&s=chmod&q=b

This thread will do a much better job of explaining it than I can.
