file permission settings

[Shawn Miller_2]

I am trying to figure out why certain files are created with file permission 600. The umask is set at 002. The files are created from inside an application. The users log in as ABC and that unix login starts the login for the application. Once in the application they create files and send them to a report directory. I need these files to have permission of 664. Thanks.

Hi Shawn,

Unless your application is changing the permissions within itself, the files created would be 664.

To verify it, login as the the user "ABC" and touch a file and look at the permissions on the file.

Hello!

Probably the program set the permissions for
the log.
You can see that the permission is that only the owner can read/write to it so it's probably the program.
