Re: [U2] [UV] Currently preferred Linux distro
This won't be a problem if you use uvbackup and uvrestore. Otherwise you will have to do a fnuxi. If you've been testing with fedora then your best bet would be RH Linux. It's supported and a fairly good track record.

Re: [U2] [UV] Currently preferred Linux distro
Works on CentOS 4 - but you have to install an older version of a library (I had to compile it from source.) I can't remember what exactly, but the installer gives you a nice error message you can puzzle it out from. I couldn't get it working on Debian or Gentoo - but to be honest, I didn't really try THAT hard. If you've got the money, just get Red Hat and spare yourself the headache of a free distro. In Red Hat you need to beware the Kerberos package. Certain versions of it will lock up U2 Logins over Telnet. Speaking to 64bit linux in general, I've had nothing but trouble. Lots of unsatisfied (and some unsatisfiable) dependencies and an entirely new set of bugs. Unless you actually need something 64 bit offers, I'd steer clear. stephen ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
Doesn't the umask have to be the inverse (for want of a better word)? umask 002 would give the same permisions as chmod 664? Or is that something that has been changed?

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
The umask tells the file system which bits to NOT set when th user creates a file. I believe the default is 777, OR the permissions of the parent directory. Then the umask is applied. The umask is usually set in the users .profile, but can be globally set in the /etc/profile depending on the flavor of UNIX.

We execute umask 0002 in the UV users' .bash_profile which results in permissions of rw-rw-r-- for new files and rwxrwxr-x for new directories (type 19 files). If you want to completely deny access for other, umask 0006 will results in permissions of rw-rw for files and rwxrwx--- for directories. Also, you can omit the first digit if it's zero. It's just for special permissions like the suid or sticky bits. -John ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- Jeff Schasny - Denver, Co, USA jschasny at gmail dot com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Linux / file create default permissions
You could try the UniVerse command UMASK 000. Works exactly like the Unix version. Put it in the UV.LOGIN or the account LOGIN macro and everyone will get the settings applied.
