Re: Not debian specific, but please help me ....

You can set your umask to 002 instead of 022 (the default on most Unix 
setups).  Just add the following line

umask 002
in ~/.bashrc and/or ~/.bash_profile files, for yourself and other people 
 belonging to the related group.


Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I can't find how to set a defult and convenient attribute mask when
file are
created on linux.

I need a whole group can write file created by anyone in the group. So
I
need the g=rw be the default permission at file creation.
Actually I get g=r only by default

Thank you very much

 Running by hand causes no problems.  Then I piped the output to mail, and
 when it arrives, the lpd restart only echos a ..  Any ideas?  This is a
 relatively up to date hamm system.

I have exactly the same problem, with the same relase of lpr package.  I

strange kernel error messages

[Alain Nissen]

Hello,

I just noticed that my Debian Linux 2.0.32 box has some 'unreliable'
behaviour, some programs are crashing more and more often with the
well-known 'segmentation fault' message.

The messages in /var/log/kern.log are actually harmful, I think (I
stripped the time in the following log):

I suspect an hardware problem, because all is working as expected if the
system remains several hours power-off; but after 15-30 minutes, the
program are crashing again.

My configuration is a Pentium 200, running Debian/Linux 2.0.32 with
latest hamm packages; I have another P200 with the same software and
hardware configuration ... that never crashes; that's why I suspect an
hardware defect.

Has anybody already seen this kind of problem?  Can somebody give me
some clues about what is the most probable cause of such general
protection or unable to handle kernel paging request errors ? CPU,
RAM, swap partitions ? Thanks in advance for any answer.

I saw exactly the same warnings on my Linux box three days ago (running

replaced by my own self-made 2.0.32 kernel).  The box became more and
more slow, and eventually did not respond at all. I had to press on the
