Hello everybody,

I want to change umask from 022 to 002 for all normal users, also for graphical logins, so when a user creates a directory in nautilus or with a program, the default permissions will be rwxrwxr-x. Does anybody know if there is a login script of configuration file to edit?

Greetings and happy newyear,

Corien

I am sorry, I did read wrong.
you allready changed your etc/fstab, and you want users to have to use passwords?

Look at /etc/login.def near bottom (assuming used by debian as is in slackware)

The problem has to do with sharing data: two of my users (marleen and heleanne) don't have any technical knowledge, but they are working on some project together. I added both of them to the "barbiecoro" group, and set SGID for the directory:
Now both users have acces to the directory barbiecoro. But when eg heleanne creates a new directory within this directory, and later marleen wants to create a file in the directory heleanne just created, marleen won't get permission. This is because the directory heleanne created has file permissions drwxr-sr-x, so the group barbiecoro does not have write permissions.

This directory resides on /dev/hda5: It is mounted in /etc/fstab like:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data ext3 defaults 0 2

I changed this to
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data ext3 defaults,umask=002 0 2
(following the fstab hint), but like this hda5 fails to mount (unrecognised option)

setting UMASK=002 in /etc/login.defs doesn't seem to have any effect, even after rebooting.
