Ahh also and I know this caused an agument in the past but I had an unusual issue with umask script in BLFS. When its added to the profile.d i got a message about group 100 has no id. I suspect this is cause i havent set a users group yet. So i just set umask to 022. Is there any real need for the script or is it just there incase a userid and group match.
Do you have a valid group for your user? All the bash scripts are just examples. The idea with the umask one is that if the name of your group is the same as your username, then you might want to create group writable files by default. It's kind of inaccurate, but it's just an example. You could adjust it so that all your ordinary users are part of a common group, then make umask 002 if you're in that group. Then you'd be able to more easily share files with other ordinary users. Some people really don't like that, though. It's all your preference, and you can always override any settings in ~/.bash*. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
