Hi,

under debian lenny during the boot process all created run files are
0644, but I want 0640.


Does anyone know how to configure that?

Thanks

PJ

Hello,

In your /etc/profile you should have this command :
umask 0137
instead of umask 0133

If the solution point only one user you can add this command in the .bashrc
file or .bash_profile file...

Hope this will help.

Regards.

I'm not sure how to configure the umask for init itself, but on my Lenny install at least, all other startup scripts are run from /etc/init.d/rc, which is a shell script you can edit to change the umask. *I'm not sure if there will be any unexpected side-effects from the change you propose, but it would be fun to find out. *:-)


Good luck!

man cmask might be of some interest.
