Snicers | Hey guys | 17:36 |

Snicers | Anyone on? | 17:36 |
FunnyLookinHat | Sure | 17:48 |
FunnyLookinHat | Snicers, what's up ? | 17:48 |
Snicers | Hey, trying to figure out umasks | 18:15 |
Snicers | need to allow x on files using umask, but it can't seem to do that | 18:16 |
FunnyLookinHat | Ah - I'm not much of an expert there I'm afriad... | 18:44 |
FunnyLookinHat | Try #ubuntu-server ? They're usually pretty slick with that sort of stuff. | 18:45 |
ToyKeeper | Er, the umask is the octal code for permissions which are removed from new files by default. | 22:15 |
ToyKeeper | Like, if a file is saved with the default of 666 or 777 and the umask is 022, it'll end up saved with 644 or 755 instead. | 22:16 |
ToyKeeper | If you wanted to completely disallow access by 'other' by default, you could use a umask of 027, so files will be saved as 640 or 750. | 22:16 |
ToyKeeper | The 3 digits are user, group, and other. They're composed of three bits each... 4=read, 2=write, 1=execute permission. | 22:17 |
