Umask did not match with user profile

Hello

The UMASK is setting at 002 in the user (informix) /home/informix/.profile but it displayed 00 when type UMASK at the console. Why is the # "2" missing? Does 00 means onwer/group can rwx and other/word have nothing?

Thanks for you help

Re: Umask did not match with user profile

Hi:

If the response to typing 'umask' is "00" then the umask setting is zero. From the man pages: "Depending on implementation, the display consists of one to four octal digits; the first digit is always zero...".

Hi!
are you sure the umask is correctly set?
If it is all zeros (000) it will show only "00" when you run 'umask'.
check the umask with 'umask -S'.

good luck.
