How do we change the #CHMOD values permanently even after restating the machine in RHCL 7.0 version

I think this question has no meaning without a context. Can you please give us more details

HI,

What is the default umask value in root login.

and if i want to change the umask value permanently to other value where do i change?

Regards,
Prashanth

see man bash, and look for umask settings. You can simply execute umask to display the current config. Use ~/.bashrc to modify it, but I think it is not a good idea to modify the default permanently.

To find current umask value just run 'umask'.

You can set it either in /etc/profile or in /etc/login.defs.

Hi,

I want to create a new user which has same privilege as /ROOT in RHEL

Requirement : need to share the created user which can perform all operations as root once logged in.

where the created new user is addded in order to get complete root access.

please open a new thread if you have a new question/issue.

Creating a new root user has no any meaning. The system handles the user id (which should be 0), and also the string 'root' is hardcoded sometimes, therefore using any other name may or may not work properly.
Instead you need to use sudo.

This is a HORRIFICALLY bad idea...and there is absolutely no reason to do it. As mentioned by pan64, sudo is the tool you should use. It allows a 'regular' user to get elevated rights when needed. Setting up another group-0 user isn't a good thing.

The better question is WHY you want to do this, and what your 'requirement' actually is.
