sad but true

what does the "u" represent in chmod u+x ?

out of my travels through linux, nothing has ever bothered to explain this...

[converge]

upon telling gimpsta about posting the question, he ask me if i had checked the chmod man page....

of course i did... but it wasnt in there; so i just went back in to reaffirm myself

lo and behold.. a perfect explanation

Your post made me doubt myself. I had to read the man page too, and low and behold... I remember correctly. U is for User... Duh simon, you idiot.
