[wp-testers] 664 - 404

[Robert Deaton]

Yeah, each number in permissions represents something. The first is owner, 
the second is group, and the third is world. If the .htaccess file belongs 
to the webserver user (usually nobody) then 644 is plenty, where if it 
belongs to only the same group then 664 could write to it, and if it doesn't 
belong to the owner or group, 666 would let anyone write to it.

xero_cool, I recommend you google for unix permissions for more info, before 
you go telling people incorrect information.
