No, wrong again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That's why you should stop repeating this bullshit.

If I get on your server thru a script then I can chmod any file to whatever I want
so what difference does it make what you set it to???

I already said that 755 will let the ccbill script work the same and clearly the
permissions were change. He already said that.

So telling him to set permission to 666 means bullshit since the hacker changed it to 755
anyway.


This debate is so old and so stupid to any decent programmer but
no way can we ever stop this information from spreading.

If your host told you to change your 777 files to 755/744/766/etc because of security
issues then your host is shit!! OK!!!!


Look at it this way : I am telling you that there are no 777's of Mass Destruction!

Stop looking for them!


Look for a decent hosting company instead.
