Re: [U2] Question about umask
We specifically changed our client code to always call our "UVCS" login subroutine when it first connects. This subroutine then does all the necessary environment massaging and checking to ensure the connection is valid and the environment is right. If you are unable to change your client code to do this, then the only other way is to change the "umask" within the unix user profile of the user that runs the unix "unirpc" process (normally either root or uniadm). If this is the root user you need to be VERY careful about changing umask settings, even to the point of considering changing UV to use a non-root user as the UV administrator user and then changing this user's unix profile.

Re: [U2] Question about umask
>>and it works from telnet connections. >>But if I do a EXECUTE "CREATE.FILE x" from inside a RPC connection, the >>permissions of the new file are "-rw-r--r--". The EXECUTE spawns a shell that might be owned by another user like system, I'm not sure about that. Whoever owns the shell is whose umask will be applied. Also I believe the permissions of the parent directory where the file is created can affect the permissions of the created file, so the 002 umask could be working correctly depending on the permissions of the directory where it is created.

Re: [U2] Question about umask
Augusto: Can't say for sure about UniVerse, but in UniData a UO connection runs the globally cataloged program "UOLOGIN", not the "LOGIN" paragraph. 1) I'm not sure if that's the way UniVerse operates, 2) When you say an RPC connection I'm not sure you mean UniObjects, which connects via the RPC service, 3) I'm not sure a UMASK can be changed at that level.
