I did a few simple tests here, I also find that umask doesn't like setting sticky and {s,g}uid. Maybe you can achieve the same result with acls? What's the reason you want to set the sticky bit for thaqt user? With some more info, maybe we can come up with an alternative Incidentally, even if we persuade umask to set the sticky bit on dirs, it's probably not what you want, as it'll make all files sticky as well alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
