Title: umask don't work
Post by: Troels Hansen on September 25, 2002, 01:43:16 PM

When my users copy files to the e-smith server, the files get a default permission on 660. I have tried setting up a umask, but dosen't work. The problem exist both when ftp'ing and when copying files over samba. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

What umask did you use?  Just in case you didn't know, umask notation isn't the same as the octal chmod notation.

Dosen't really matter what umask I use. The result is always the same. Anyway. Tha umask I would like to have is 022. If I do a umask -S it reports the right settings u=rxw,g=rx,o=rx but whan uploading files they stille get rw-rw----
