I do the same in Opensuse. But, the file created in the directory have the
permission:
-rw-r--r-- 1 geecko sales 4 2007-05-23 09:17 filegeecko (notice the
rw-r--r--). This permission makes other user in sales group cannot edit
geecko's file. User geecko has to specifically set the permission to 664 on
the file.
How do I achive the default umask inhereted from the parent directory? I read
some suggestions from google to adjust the global default umask, but I think
it's a bit risky, or is it the only way?
Phil answered your question how to enable the RH behavior by
setting the umask globally.
If you don't want to do this, there is the possibility to use
access control lists (ACLs); the default ACL determines the access
right of newly created files.
I don't know if the global umask setting is sufficient for you, so
I stop here with the explanation; ask, if you need more info.
But note: both methods don't support changing the access rights of
files that are created elsewhere, e.g., in a personal directory,
and moved to the shared directory. (That's because moving doesn't
create a file, it just changes the directory entry. (Reality is
even more complex, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.))
