[Vincent_5]

Hi Guys,

      Can someone help, im trying to set a umask of 027 instead of 077 on my server. Can someone advice what are the parameter to be setup and path? After setting the umask how can  I check if is running on 027. 

Regards

      uname -a

   Define "on my server".  A umask is a per-process parameter.  Are you
talking about the default umask for a particular user's shell(s)?  For
all users' shell(s)?

   For a shell, you can put a "umask" command in that shell's start-up
file(s), like "~/.cshrc", "~/.login", "~/.profile", "~/.bashrc", or
whatever, or, more generally, in "/etc/profile", or whatever a
particular shell uses.

      man umask

      man <your_shell>

      man profile
