Re: About default init umask , and kernel umask, cron umask
(...) so a good umask may be set there for init. Hi, and a good setting for umask is? I know that it depends on many things, but what do you think? Cheers
About default init umask , and kernel umask, cron umask
HI Could any one tell what is the default umask for kernel, init, cron? is it configurable? google around , I could not find a clear answer. assuming: kernel --- init --- spawned tasks so the kernel will set default umask , then the pass it to init? what the default umask? where is the configure location? or not configurable? Init will spawn those tasks, those tasks will inherint the umask from init, right? what is the cron default umask? thanks min -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: About default init umask , and kernel umask, cron umask
On many Unix systems, the default umask is 022. This would be set explicitly by init or not at all (000). If your writing an init replacement, make sure to set umask then later you can read a config file and set the umask to the user configured value.

Re: About default init umask , and kernel umask, cron umask
Also keep in mind on modern systems init is started from the initrd and not by the kernel, so a good umask may be set there for init. http://linux.die.net/man/8/pivot_root On 12/05/12 10:28, Min Wang wrote: HI Could any one tell what is the default umask for kernel, init, cron? is it configurable? google around , I could not find a clear answer. assuming: kernel --- init --- spawned tasks so the kernel will set default umask , then the pass it to init? what the default umask? where is the configure location? or not configurable?
