Generaly, we create directory using “mkdir” command and then change it’s permissions using “chmod” command.
Actually, we can set the permissions for the directory at the time of it’s creation itself, with the following command:
$ mkdir zyz -v -m 644 mkdir: created directory `zyz'
where,
-m flag defines the permission to be set
-v stands for verbose mode
$ ls -l | grep zyz drw-r--r-- 2 root root 4096 2009-12-30 14:26 zyz
