It is correct.
One observation: for a Linux user and website admin you seem to know
very little about the Unix permission schemes.
Do yourself (and possible users of your site) a favor, and make
yourself familiar with these (and other) basics. Disaster always
strikes at the least convenient times, i.e., when no-one can help
you but yourself..
