Now I see. I think a simple notation indicating that it was
displaying the decimal form might have been useful. Since it is working
correctly now, I assume that dovecot can accept either the decimal or
octal forms.
Question: What would have happened if I had just entered: 660? Would
dovecot have internally converted it to decimal: 102? That does not
seem like a good idea.
Note: I believe, and that is subject to review, that decimal 438 =
octal 666. Decimal 438 = octal 0660. (comments)
BTW, I was not aware of the '-a' flag. Besides '-a' & '-n' are there
any others?
Thanks for your feedback.
