[wp-testers] 664 - 404

[Robert Deaton]

Server config wouldn't have much to do with it, but chowning the file would. 
If your .htaccess isn't chowned to the same user or group as the webserver, 
then 664 isn't enough, because only the user and group that own the file 
would be able to write to it. Its always safer to give only the minimum 
permissions necessary, so a lot of people note that its best to put it as 
664.
