I've modified /etc/bashrc (and even > /etc/profile), and the apache user doesn't have a .bashrc or > .bash_profile, and it's still 0022. Where did you set it? By default /etc/profile changes the umask for interactive shells to 0002 under the following criteria: if the user ID is > 199 AND the EUID (by name) is the same as the EGID (by name) Otherwise the umask is set to 0022. By default, /etc/bashrc does precisely the same for _non-login_ bash shells. Just to prove you can change the umask via /etc/profile: [root@prophead ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash -c "umask" 0022 [root@prophead ~]# echo "umask 0002" >>/etc/profile [root@prophead ~]# su - apache -s /bin/bash -c "umask" 0002 Note that this affects ALL users' interactive shells, so delete that line we just added from the end of /etc/profile as soon as possible after you're satisfied it works. I'd highly recommend you add code to both /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc to selectively change the umask for the apache user (on my machine, that's UID 48). > This is important because the "joomadmin" user will be manipulating > these files via sFTP or scp. > > I've also tried modifying the Subsystem variable to first set the > umask before running /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server, and the Windows > sFTP client they're using apparently can't handle this. Uh, how? The /etc/ssh/sshd_config line should read: Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server -u 0002 and you must restart sshd via "systemctl restart sshd.service" as /etc/ssh/sshd_config is only read when sshd starts up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!
