umask

I created a user and in its profile i inserted umask 002.
this means that this user should create file with these permissions rwxrwxr-x. Why does the user create file with rw-rw-r--.

Thanks

Hi
Sorry I forgot to say try umask -S to see what is being set.

x permission is never set when creating a FILE
you have to chmod manually for the x permission
when creating DIRECTORY x permission is set

Hi
Rainer is right on the x bit also change you shell and run umask or umask -S to get current setting.

hi fedrico,

umask 002 , for directories you take away 777
and for files you take away 666 from the umask so 664 permissions on a file is correct .
