I considered that option, but was somehow uncomfortable about it... Maybe the fact that debian's default is 022 made me cautious, or I wanted to know if there was an alternative before changing a system wide default. It feels strange to modify a system's default config just for one directory, but it seems I have no other choice (except creating a fat32 partition and mounting it with the right parameters... :-) Now why is debian's default 022 if 02 is safe ?
