Correct Permissions for Config Files?

[HarryMuscle]

What are the correct permissions for configuration files like for example inadyn.conf.add? According to the wiki, scripts should have read and execute permissions for all users. Does that mean that configuration files should have read set for all users? Or should it be just for the owner? Also, who should the owner be? I'm assuming root but it's not mentioned for scripts or config files in the wiki.

Thanks,
Harry

The router doesn't really follow the traditional concept of different users and groups as it's designed as an embedded system where almost everything runs as the root user. So unless there's a specific requirement the owner is usually the root user. Generally speaking scripts should have 755 permissions and config files either 666 or 644.

The user should be your admin user which is basically root, but renamed to be your admin login username.
The permissions on all my /config/ files is 666 -rw-rw-rw-

Stuff in /scripts/ that gets executed is all set to 755 -rwxr-xr-x
