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. Note that umask 022 is set in /etc/profile You should be able to create /etc/profile.local and add 'umask 002' to it.
