Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
You could try the UniVerse command “UMASK 000”. Works exactly like the Unix version. Put it in the UV.LOGIN or the account LOGIN macro and everyone will get the settings applied. While this answers the original question, the original question itself begs another question: Are you sure you want to create all files as 777? True, this will ensure that nobody will hit access problems. But do you really want database files created as accessible to anybody with access to the system? And should they be set as executable? Fully open files are a huge red flag for system auditors. There may be times when it's justifiable to create a file as 777, but creating ALL files as 777 is - IMHO - opening yourself up for a huge cleanup problem later.

[U2] Linux / file create default permissions
Greetings group. Anyone know how to set an overall parameter so that files created in Universe over Linux get r/w/x permissions? We are having to chmod 777 after we create any file. want that to be the default. Thanks! Susan Joslyn SJ+ Systems Associates, Inc.

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
Set the users umask in the .profile of their home directory. If all of your users are part of a common group (as they should be) umask 770 should work Susan Joslyn wrote: Greetings group.

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
You do in fact want to look into the umask setting but 770 doesn't seem correct since that would grant access to other but not the owner or group. - Josh From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Schasny Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 12:20 PM To: sjos...@sjplus.com; U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions Set the users umask in the .profile of their home directory.

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
Doesn't the umask have to be the inverse (for want of a better word)? umask 002 would give the same permisions as chmod 664? Or is that something that has been changed?

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
The umask tells the file system which bits to NOT set when th user creates a file. I believe the default is 777, OR the permissions of the parent directory. Then the umask is applied. The umask is usually set in the users .profile, but can be globally set in the /etc/profile depending on the flavor of UNIX.

We execute umask 0002 in the UV users' .bash_profile which results in permissions of rw-rw-r-- for new files and rwxrwxr-x for new directories (type 19 files). If you want to completely deny access for other, umask 0006 will results in permissions of rw-rw for files and rwxrwx--- for directories. Also, you can omit the first digit if it's zero. It's just for special permissions like the suid or sticky bits. -John ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- Jeff Schasny - Denver, Co, USA jschasny at gmail dot com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

I've just taken a look and modes 4000 and 2000 look promising although they're not quite what I thought. They'll force owner (and maybe group) to be what you want.
