umask dilemma

[Dieter Schicker]

Hi,

thanks for your answer but it still doesn't work.

Oh yes, thanks!

Removed it but I still get 644 permissions. Even if I hardcode "umask
007" in /etc/login.defs and /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile I get 644
... Event if I put it into the users ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile I get
644. I'm getting frustrated as you can imagine ... ;-)

Also grep'd for "umask" whereever it seems useful (home directory, /etc
directory, ...) with no success.

Any further ideas?

TIA
Dieter
