try with umask=000
But I don't want to give all the users full permissions, which is what would happen if I do as you suggest. I want to give rwxr--r-- permissions only. I suspect that Linux is remembering the permissions of the file from *before* I added a umask to fstab and hence refusing to set new permissions by default. Also, umask is said to be only the file **creation** mask. Perhaps it does not apply for pre-existing files? Shriramana.
