I recently became aware that the default umask for Fedora is 022 when it caused problems for me that I had a different umask. This seems like an anachronism, a relic of a kinder, gentler time, when the computing atmosphere was more collegiate. Is it really appropriate that new files be created for a user with permissions of rwxr-xr-x in today's security atmosphere?
I set my umask to 077, so that no one can access anything. I'm interested in other people's opinions, especially those arguing in favor of continuing to have a umask of 022. Am I overlooking something? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
