umask 0002 works in a shell but not with Nautilus

lotz98 · 12-04-2004, 07:39 AM

I have set umask 0002 in /etc/login.defs which gives me what I want when creating a folder in a shell: dwrxrwxr-x.

However, when I create a folder through the graphical Gnome/KDE Environment with either Nautilus or Konqueror I get: drwxr-xr-x

Can someone please shed light on this, please?

Thanks

don't post the same question on different threads, look for an appropriate section in the forums and post your question once.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
