Hi again,
Well, I don't know much about shell programming, but if the group ID of your
users is 502, then I guess you can change the lines in /etc/bashrc like
below. I just inserted a new option, I didn't delete the original just in
case. I guess it should work
# by default, we want this to get set.
# Even for non-interactive, non-login shells.
if [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" -a `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
umask 002
elif [ "`id -g`" -eq 502 -a `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
umask 002
else
umask 022
fi

Subject: Re: [newbie] default permissions
Thanks, that explains it - my ssh and desktop tests were on different
users. When I created the 'real' users (excluding my userid) on this
computer, I put them all in the same group so they could share files. If
the name of the group is 'gwacl' and gid is 502, what code should I add/chg
so that users in this group will use 664 permissions?
