Umask Permission Question
 

I am doing an experiment with umask. I have set umask 000 in .bash_profile but when I create a new file using a login shell the permissions are rw-rw-rw-

Can anyone explain why this happened?
How could I make the default permissions of new files rwxrwxrwx?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Try to add umask to .bashrc file.

I believe the default permission for any file created is 666
so umask 000 would give u 666, which is rw_rw_rw

umask is better in /etc/profile and rwxrwxrwx will be only for directories. rw-rw-rw- for files.
