There's a program that comes with HDB called "uucheck".  If you run
it with the -v option (it might be -x, try them both) it will play
out, in plain English, what each of the entries do.  It will also point
out errors that you might have made before they cause something to
malfunction.  It's a good idea to run uucheck after any significant
change to the Permissions file.
