RE: [cobalt-users] file creation permissions

[Gerald Young <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

yes i think you would have to be that user.
Just tried logging in as a user changed umask in a new dir
made several files different umasks cd up and back in umask is what i last set
it to.

so i think if you run the umask as the user that will be firing up the files.
b w g


so umask as the user that is relevant.
