chmod wget - now my crons won't run

So, in an effort to lock down my server, I chmoded wget to 700. I also have some scripts that run using wget and the name of the script.

The cron jobs won't run now, since they don't have permission. My question is, do I need to chmod wget to 755 to make this work (then I loose the protection I was trying to get), or is there a better way?

Anyone know the "factory setting" for wget's permissions?

Thanks,
Terry
