umask setting

xinoos — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 04:12:22 GMT

Would like to know if there is a global umask setting on HP UNIX v11?
May I know what is the location to view this setting in standard mode?

Hello
you can set global umask in /etc/profile
add line:
ex.
umask 022 (for permission -rw-r--r--)

Thanks
Marcin

Hi Xinoos,
the default mask is u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx (000) for HP-UX. Type man umask to see it or umask -s.
It should be set in /etc/profile.

HTH,
