If you are stuck on using a gui admin tool, use webmin. It is very good as configuring core services like sendmail, dns, nis, etc.. But as someone already said, the m4 method is very easy. Just place all your macros in a file, run m4, and presto. CC > > At 05:29 PM 1/3/02 -0500, you wrote: >

Re: Questions about changing umask setting in /etc/profile

2000-08-21 Thread Steven W. Orr
Setting a umask to 006 is almost certainly not what you want. Not a knock, but I just wanted to explain it so that the issue is clear. Technically, yes you are correct that files are created with a mask of 666, unless the files are executable. In that case they would come out with a mask of 777.
