Ahh! pseudo, I was completely stumped.

EVERYTHING in networking is about the open flow of ideas, Security has come
about out of necessity, being burned too many times, and learning the hard
way. As pre-press becomes more and more interconnected, pre-press with
figure that out as well.

Many permission/security schemes are quite complex and work quite well.
chmod -R 777 * could undo a whole lot of good as well as a many hours
of hair pulling. I wouldn't recommend it.

I do however, concur with you completely, that in the end, so much of this
is screwed up perms.

I don't agree, not at all.

And you are also right, I am neither a Unix nor a Mac person, nor a Windows
person either, I hate all computers with equal vehemence.
