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

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

    ouch.. my lameness hurts

    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

      hah!

      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.
