[17:36] Hey guys [17:36] Anyone on? [17:48] Sure [17:48] Snicers, what's up ? [18:15] Hey, trying to figure out umasks [18:16] need to allow x on files using umask, but it can't seem to do that [18:44] Ah - I'm not much of an expert there I'm afriad... [18:45] Try #ubuntu-server ? They're usually pretty slick with that sort of stuff. [22:15] Er, the umask is the octal code for permissions which are removed from new files by default. [22:16] 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] 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. [22:17] The 3 digits are user, group, and other. They're composed of three bits each... 4=read, 2=write, 1=execute permission.
