Group permissions problem

[David Mummery]

Hi all - 

I'm setting up a multi-user LTSP environment based on Ubuntu.

I need to have shared folders where users can save files e.g. openoffice documents -  that others can then modify.

I have set umask = 0002 in /etc/login.defs and in .bash-profile file for a user. Logged out and logged in again.

Umask is still 0022 (!)

Even if I type umask 0002 in a shell ,and umask does change to 0002, I still do not create files in openoffice with group read/write permissions. 

Any ideas?

David
