Does anyone actually know how to pronounce chmod?

Yep! It's pronounced "chmod"

Had it been Sean Connery in the picture as some had suggested, his pronunciation would've been:

"Shmod, Shamesh Shmod."

But as to how it's actually pronounced: No clue. Our server admins call it "See age mod" - but I'm not too sure they are the authority on pronouncing stuff right. :-P

Rhymes with "SCMODS" from Blues Brothers.
