Huh, works here:
[eben@pc tmp]$ touch testfile
[eben@pc tmp]$ chmod 744 testfile
[eben@pc tmp]$ \ls -l | grep ^-rwxr--r--
-rwxr--r-- 1 eben eben 0 Jul 4 17:34 testfile
Maybe you have something that munges ls's output? The "\" should remove all
aliases. Or maybe "744" isn't actually what you meant? I didn't have any
world-writable files, so I had to create one.
