Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.29+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

User Commands (c) chmod(1)
This way betty can use cmd to access the data files, but she cannot acciden-
tally damage them with the standard shell commands.
5. To use the absolute mode form of the chmod command, enter:
chmod 644 text
This command sets read and write permission for the owner, and it sets read-
only mode for the group and all others.
NOTES
Because /G and /E both appear in your local root directory, you should be very careful when
using OSS shell commands on or from the root directory. OSS shell commands that perform
recursive actions make no distinction between Guardian and OSS files or between local and
remote files. You can use the -W NOG and -W NOE flags or the UTILSGE environment vari-
able to exclude objects in the Guardian file system or objects accessible through the Expand pro-
duct.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
HP extensions to the XPG4 Version 2 specification are:
• To change the file access permissions of a file or directory, the effective user
ID of the process must match the super ID or the owner of the file, or the
effective user ID or one of the group affiliations for the process must qualify
the process for membership in the Safeguard SECURITY-OSS-
ADMINISTRATOR group.
• The -W NOG and -W NOE flags and the UTILSGE environment variable are
used.
