[Discuss] Advanced file permisions



I'm at home, but I think it is 0002 but I'll check in the morning.
The most important issue is to set up the top level directory with owner
root, and group foogroup. This will prevent unauthorized people from
being able to get into the directory.

I changed the subdirectories with rwxrwx and our main group.
