chmod 755?

Author: K.Man2 (9 Jul 06 5:01pm)

I have everything setup and installed, but isn't it a security risk to leave exposed files with 755 permissions? Shouldn't I change it back to 644? Will it quit working if I change it to 644?

Using 644 for the permissions on your honeypot should not cause any problems. The 'README' files are being updated to reflect the change. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

After you update your file permissions, please visit your honeypot page to verify that it is working correctly.
