In reply to Felipe. @Felipe, Hello! Thank you for your feedback, and I appreciate you taking the time to point out the typo. You are absolutely correct. The accurate numeric combination for the second example of setting file permissions should indeed be '664', corresponding to the access '-rw-rw-r--'.

Hi, great article, I would just like to provide small feedback. In the second example of setting file permission, you have a typo. You say the numeric combination would be "644" while "664" should be the actual combination as the example refers to an access of "-rw-rw-r--".

In reply to dragonmouth. @Dragonmouth, Yes it required sudo privileges to execute passwd command, corrected in the article...

“Additionally, you can change the password for another user simply by passing the username of the user as an argument.

$ passwd username"

Wouldn’t that require admin privileges, hence the use of the SUDO command?
