Notes:
Now, let’s try out the “chmod” command:
chmod o+w brotplot.odt
This means add write access for the “other” group to “ brotplot.odt ”. Add is indicated by the “plus” sign.
chmod a-r brotplot.odt
This means remove read access for the all three (user, group and other) from “ brotplot.odt ”. Remove is indicated by the “minus” sign.
chmod u+x brotplot.odt
This means add execute access for the user/owner to “ brotplot.odt ”.
To find out more about the “chmod” command see its Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
