I don't know what is wrong..
What is the symbolic representation for a permission setting for a file where the User can read, write, and execute; the Group can read; and the Other users can't do anything?
I typed "chmod u=rwx,g=r,o="
but it is wrong...
Can anymore help me that?

You need to tell it what file or files to work on. For example. try this in your home
directory.
LinkyCode:mkdir temp cd temp touch a-file ls -l chmod u=rwx,g=r,o= a-file ls -l

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

Read = 4
Write = 2
Execute = 1
Add them up -> chmod UGO
Code:# chmod 740 <filename>
