default files and folder acl permissions

Baltasar · 08-26-2004, 03:13 PM

Hi,

When i run adduser the home folder is created with 700 permission. Where can i change it to 711 (rwx--x--x)?
And where is the default file and folder acl permissions defined?

Thank you in advance!

A little context would help some. As far as the permissions go, you should be able to change those using the chmod command from terminal, unless I am missing something.

I do NOT know if this works.

Try editting '/etc/login.defs'.
I think there is: 'UMASK (number)'. The default number is '077', just make sure the line exists:
UMASK 066

I am running FC2 with minimum requirements. I can't find the line UMASK 077 in login.defs. Should it really be there and not somewhere else?
I am running apache on this server and the home folders must have set at least execute permission and my problem is i often forget to change it after i created the user and the homepage will not be accessible.

Try adding it.
