This is a legitimate question for you Chris.

Does it really matter about providing 777 permissions on files which are
effectively outside of the public_html area, I always thought that it did
not matter as it was not accessible, but if you know otherwise please tell
all because I do need to know if this is the case......

If I am wrong in thinking it doesnt matter about too much permissions
outside of public_html area, sorry one and all for saying that should be
safe and secure enough.....!!

read, write, and execute to the world on a .forward file?!
That sounds Bad.  644 (world read, group read, owner read,write) is more
realistic.
