I'm having a craptastic time trying to figure out how I should configure my Drupal folders and files. I've search all over drupal.org but keep coming up with dribble about the www-data needing access to the "sites" and the "files" folder and how "settings.php" needs some awesome permissions.
But what I need is a list like this:
/ = 744 or drwxr-r--
/includes/ = ...
/misc/ = ...
/modules/ = ...
/profiles/ = ...
/scripts/ = ...
/sites/ = ...
/sites/all/ = ...
/sites/default/ = ...
/sites/default/settings.php = 444?
/sites/default/files/ = ...
I don't think I need someone to catalog every single file, folder, and permission settings for me. I'm guessing that I can just set the root folder permissions to "apply to enclosed items" and then fix the few folders and files that need special settings.
I would really appreciate any contributions that can lead me back to sanity! :)

the /home directory should be 755 IMO.
And for the administrators group give complete access. Go to the Drupal root directory, right click on it, go to properties and then security. Make use of permission inheritance to make things easier for yourself. And remember that any newly installed module/theme or add on must have its permissions changed too.
Managing roles in Drupal 5. To specify the permissions for a role, click Administration > User management > Permissions. To add editors to your site, you will first need to create an editor role. Click Administration > User management > Roles. Type in the name of your new role (e.g. 'editor') and click 'Add role'.
default install on my local machine has
-rw-r--r-- all php files
drwxr-xr-x directories
drwxrwxr-x files folder
-r--r--r-- settings.php file
