If you want to write a two digit octal number you can not continue with another ocatal digit. In C you could do "...\77" "7" and have it concat the literals. In config files (without concatenation) you need some other trick.
Couple of ways to do that: ``` $ printf '\0777' | hexdump -C 00000000 3f 37 |?7| 00000002 $ printf '\77\067' 00000000 3f 37 |?7| 00000002 $ ``` -RVP
