<p>The first dash is "sticky", don't worry too much about it yet.</p>
<p>The next three are user, then group, then other. User is your own permissions, group is permissions for anyone in a group you're in, and other is for anyone ... period.</p>
<p>The symbolic stuff is much easier to use on chmod than pulling octal stuff out of your butt, IMO.</p>
<p>You do: chmod [u/g/o/a]+[r/w/x] . 'a' means u, g, and o.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono">chmod g-w file</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono">chmod o-w file</span></p>
