May 12, 2016 at 7:36 comment added dr_ You're absolutely right -- I just tested on a CentOS 7 machine and it works. @adonis, I'm going to accept Christopher's answer as the most correct one, but please write your comment as an answer so I can upvote. Thank you.

May 11, 2016 at 15:20 comment added adonis what you say is reasonable, but I just tried it and it works on my system (ubuntu 16.04).
May 11, 2016 at 15:18 comment added dr_ This won't work as the other permission (which is r--) applies, therefore jdoe will have read access to the file.
May 11, 2016 at 15:10 comment added adonis how about seting the group ownership of the file to a group containing only this user and restricting access to group - with chmod 0604?
