RE: default directory creation permission

[Bill Farrell <billfarr ages com>]

Damain:

You can use the "umask" command to change the permission bit settings for
the next create operation.  The bit-values for umask are exactly opposite
those for creation, so:

to get:                   use:
777				  000
755                       022

etc.

You "can" put this into your personal startup profile, or the profile of an
account that you'd generally use this sort of priv-diddling (for instance,
with an Informix UniVerse database account).

Hope this helps,
Bill

Subject: default directory creation permission


I am running redhat 6.1.  When I create a directory, the default permission 
setting is 775 or "rwxrwxr x".  How do i change this default setting?
