Ah! If the script doesn't begin with #!/bin/sh it'll replace the umask: [ewood@osas ewood]$ umask 0000 [ewood@osas ewood]$ umask 0000 [ewood@osas ewood]$ cat script echo `umask` echo "Touching foo" touch foo exit 0 [ewood@osas ewood]$ ./script 0002 Touching foo [ewood@osas ewood]$ ls -l foo -rw-rw-r-- 1 ewood ewood 0 Dec 19 17:10 foo This wasn't so back in the RH 7.0 days. Must be a shell requirement now. Thanks for you help on this issue. -eric wood ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Keating" <hosting@j2solutions.net> To: <psyche-list@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 3:10 PM Subject: Re: umask is different in 8.0 > On Thu, 19 Dec 2002 15:02:30 -0500 > "Eric Wood" <eric@interplas.com> wrote: > > > But when a new child process spawns (say a shell script), the umask is > > not inherited.
