title: What permissions should /private/etc/hosts have on Mac OS X 10.8.2
body: <p>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 <code>sudo chmod 777 /private/etc/hosts</code> instead of just opening it with <code>sudo nano /private/etc/hosts</code> now I'm not sure what permissions I should restore it to.</p>
