umask variable , and to set?

[rveri]

Hi I am using hp-ux 11.11

my user login shell is /usr/bin/ksh

I am wondering from where the umask variable 022 it is taking.

I have found its not defined in

$HOME/.profile
$HOME/.login
$HOME/.cshrc
/etc/profile

afte loggin in I have executed umask and system given 022.

$ umask
022

Can any one help me to find it out.

Thank you,

veri.

Yes got it ,
it is in /sbin/rc file.


cat /sbin/rc

#!/sbin/sh

arg=$1
arg2=$2

PATH=/sbin
export PATH

#
# Set termio configuration for output device.
#
/sbin/stty clocal icanon echo opost onlcr ixon icrnl ignpar 2> /dev/null

umask 022

get_scripts() {
state=$1
mode=$2
dir=/sbin/rc${state}.d

oops -

just checked my answer and look in /etc/profile

grep -i umask /etc/profile

change your umask and then repeat and you will see the new umask.
