It sounds like you are trying to set up a "User Private Group" type of configuration. Is that correct? That is a typical and good configuration to use in a group of users. In that case you will want to modify /etc/profile and change the umask setting there from 'umask 022' to 'umask 02'. That file is sourced by login shells. sudo editor /etc/profile Note that the default install configuration for the root user is to have /root/.bashrc set 'umask 022' and to have /root/.profile source the /root/.bashrc file but these are often customized. Even when using UPG for non-root users it is desirable to keep root's umask to be 022. After making the above change to /etc/profile you should log in as root and verify that root's umask is still 022. This is just in case root's environment has been customized and the umask setting removed. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
