Greetings, I know that someone asked a very similar question recently but he requested that responses be sent privately and none were posted to the list.
For a while I have been using a umask of 007 as the default on my system. I set it in /etc/profile and /etc/login.defs. This has been working for me for a while and has made controlling permissions easier for me. Anyway, I'm not tryng to start a discussion about what the best umask to use is. I noticed today that when I am in konsole with kde running on my laptop and I type umask it tells me that my umask is 022. I can't seem to do anything to change it. It is still 007 outside of kde. The question is how can I changed the umask system wide in kde? Is there a way that kde in debian could somehow honor the umask that is set in login.defs or /etc/profile? I would be all for it. FYI. I am on a debian system that I keep up-to-date with the testing distribution. I dip into unstable for KDE and a couple other things so I have the 3.1.1 packages in unstable. As far as I can tell the problems started with the 3.1.1 packages but I can't be 100% sure. Thanks for everything. Carl Baldwin
