Umask
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
Fedora's default umask is set to 022. I need it to be set to 002 so
that different users within the same group can ftp and download the
same file(s). However, I noticed that when I set the umask to 002 it
changes it system wide! I was wondering if this was a security risk?
My network admin wants us to ssh in change the owner of the file using
the sudo chown command, download the file, then change the owner back.
I REALLY don't want to do this for every file that I want to work on.
There has to be a way to change this and I think umask is the way to do
it. The thing is I do not want to go changing the umask of the system
without knowing if it's secure or not.
Thanks for any help.
