Certainly. Your point appears to be that you are too ignorant to know that
Unix mode bits are represented in octal, not decimal.
[ "rw-rw-rw-" is 666 in base 8, which is 438 in decimal. "666" in decimal
corresponds to Unix mode "--w--rx-wt", not that either one has any religious
connotations whatsoever. It must be nice to not have any genuine or
substantive problems to deal with, if this actually matters to anyone.... ]
