A few weeks ago I posted a message about umasks. I finally have a grasp on what it is and how it works. Something that I noticed (at least on my system) is when a user logs into the machine their umask is set to 022. How do I change this so that when any user logs into the system their umask is 002? I checked the /etc/bash.bashrc file and it really didn't help me out. I know how FC3 works but not too sure about SuSE.
Add the command
umask 002
to /etc/profile.local if you want it globally (/etc/profile can get overwritten at times, so it is best not to make the change there). Make the change in ~/.profile if you want it only on a per-user basis.
I guess that will have to do. I was hoping there was some script that would set it per user and would act globally. Kind of like how FC3 does it. Thanks for the help.
