• You can actually do chmod +777,u+rwx,go-w foo to make the logic easier if you want to force a starting assumption.

• Careful: chmod -X also looks for any existing exec bits:

  $ umask 0
  $ >foo >bar
  $ ls -al foo bar
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
  $ chmod o+x foo
  $ ls -al foo bar
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
  -rw-rw-rwx 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
  $ chmod u=rwX,g=rX,o=rX foo bar
  $ ls -al foo bar
  -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
