   David:  when I grew up, which may be before your time, there were such

   You may not have them now, and I'll concede that *for the most part*, but   
   there are / were modify permissions.  I know, I've used them, and they were   
   taught in college computer classes, which I don't actually know if you've   
   ever had any of those or not, but such was the learning of the day.   
      
   And you KNOW that no two versions of Unix are *exactly* alike.  They simply   
   aren't, even though (and especially because) the source code is open.
