What should the permission setting for the /etc/shadow file be?
 
If you can give me the answer in both Octal digit(0-7) and text (-rwx) that would be good.

if you want to know permission

run ls -l /etc/shadown

in redhat distro
Code:
r--------
400
owner -> read
group -> no per.
other -> no perm.
in debian
Code:
rw-r-----
640
owner -> read,write
group -> read
other -> no perm.

Sounds like a home work question. Google it. :)

Or install a distro and do ls -l /etc/shadow from a terminal.
