Thanks. We're using bash here. And I became the user who complained and could not find another umask setting: [user1@qa_host ~]$ grep -i "umask" * [user1@qa_host ~]$ On another related question... the user is also complaining about ownership of files and directories. Couldn't I just solve that problem with a sticky bit, i.e. chmod -R u+s * and chmod -R g+s *? And as mentioned I have only one umask set in /etc/profile [root@qa_hostapps]# grep umask /etc/profile umask 0002 Thanks On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 10:30 AM, zep <zgreenfel...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 06/11/2014 10:14 AM, Tim Dunphy wrote: > > Hey all, > > > > We have the following set in /etc/profile : > > > > umask 0002 > > > > so that it will affect all users.
