umask questions?
using SLES 9,
if I change /etc/login.defs so that umask 002, but users had already been created while the value was umask 022, then are the users home directories NOT group writeable? What utility do I use to change this? facls? Also ... if I create an /etc/profile.local with the only command being umask 002, will this have the effect of causing all new files created by users to be group writeable? How do I confirm that this is working? Scabby |
You can try:
Code:
cd /home |
thank you ... very helpful.
I believe that, from now on because I have created the /etc/profiles.local file, users newly created files will by default be group writeable ... am I correct in believing that? Thnx again scabby |
I wish I could correctly answer that for you... but I am not certain. I would test it to be sure. I have never seen the /etc/profiles.local before. I don't use bash myself except occasionally so I have never played with it too much.
I thought global information was in /etc/profile -- but have no idea if there is a .local version of that or what the difference would be. |
