I had multiple terminal windows open using SSH to access a webserver behind reverse proxies and was making changes to my hosts file to alternate between the webserver and public ip. While not paying attention I accidently executed sudo chmod 777 /private/etc/hosts instead of just opening it with sudo nano /private/etc/hosts now I'm not sure what permissions I should restore it to.

  • Thanks. Same as the majority of the other files in /private/etc* - just wanted to make sure. – James Feb 18 '13 at 06:38
