strange umask behaviour

2004-11-07 Thread Clive Menzies
Hi In my .bashrc and .bash_profile I have umask set at 022 however when I create a file, the permissions look like this: -rw-r--r-- instead of: -rwxr-xr-x Am I being really dense or is this a bug? umask 555 creates files as --w--w--w- which looks fine. TIA Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk
