So.. only chmod 1770 /home/edward
It's your choice. The permission bits are the same any way you say it,
but it is best to use the way that you understand and do an 'ls -ld' on
the directory after the chmod to be sure it is right. Remember, the
object of this is to set the directory owner/modes so that the user can
still create/remove his own files but can't remove/replace certain files
that you will chown to root.
