['chmod -R 777 /owlett'] would be a bad thing to do for several reasons. One is that not
all files should be executable. Mode 777 will make all files
executable even files that should not be executable. Another is that
if you ever copy a file out of there then the permissions will be
preserved and elsewhere they will be the wrong permissions. Another
is that doing that only fixes the current crop of files. As soon as
you create a new file the problem will reappear with that new file.
This just isn't going to work out well in the end. Don't do it! :-)
