Well, there’s always a first time for everything! I submitted a ticket to A Small Orange asking why their automatic file permission script on that server sets the .php file permissions to 0640 – all of them, not just the three that F-Lock can lock. It may be just this server because the other two websites that I have on a different server at ASO are happy with 0400 for the three files in question and all the other .php files are 0644 on that server.
I’ll let you know if ASO agrees that they ought to join the other 20,000 webhosts worldwide … 😉
