"Man chmod".

The pertinent part:

A numeric mode is from one to four octal digits (0-7), derived by
adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1. Any omitted digits are
assumed to be leading zeros. The first digit selects the set user
ID (4) and set group ID (2) and sticky (1) attributes. The second
digit selects permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4),
write (2), and execute (1); the third selects permissions for other
users in the file’s group, with the same values; and the fourth for
other users not in the file’s group, with the same values

Hi William,
Thanks for the clue. It took me to several times of reading to get it
Sometimes I can see complex things fast, but fails to see very simple ones.
