umask settings

[Indira Aramandla]

People

I have two users, one who's new. When the old user runs a report under Masterpiece the four job files are created in their print directory. When the new user runs the same job it stays on the process queue and onlyh creates at most one file. I've been checking umask settings as I've noted that the files from both users have different permissions. I cannot find where their umask is set. I've looked in .profile .login .cshrc and /etc/profile and still cannot find any umask setting. Does anyone have any other ideas as to where these can be set for both users ?

If a user has shell access they can change their own umask.

/etc/profile
/home/user/.profile & .csh.login, .cshrc, .kshrc, etc

[T G Manikandan]

/etc/profile
/etc/csh.login



.profile
.login
.cshrc

Else you can check whether it is added in a script and is plcaed inside the above files.

Thanks

Hi

It may be from a different script which is called by any startup program. What U can do is add ur umask setting in .profile or .login, depends up on which shell they are using. This may find the result.

Best of luck
