SnicersHey guys17:36
SnicersAnyone on?17:36
FunnyLookinHatSure17:48
FunnyLookinHatSnicers, what's up ?17:48
SnicersHey, trying to figure out umasks18:15
Snicersneed to allow x on files using umask, but it can't seem to do that18:16
FunnyLookinHatAh - I'm not much of an expert there I'm afriad...18:44
FunnyLookinHatTry #ubuntu-server ? They're usually pretty slick with that sort of stuff.18:45
ToyKeeperEr, the umask is the octal code for permissions which are removed from new files by default.22:15
ToyKeeperLike, 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
ToyKeeperIf 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
ToyKeeperThe 3 digits are user, group, and other.  They're composed of three bits each...  4=read, 2=write, 1=execute permission.22:17
