I am having problems with umask. I want permission automatically set for
group write access, read only access for others. So I changed to root
and did
#umask 0002
When I login as another user and try to create a directory it denies me.
When i do umask for that user it tells me 0022.
I thought that changing umask while in a directory changes the umask for
the directory, or is it a per user setting. If so, how do I change all
users umask to 0002? Or do I have to specify which directory to set the
umask for?
