If you read the manpage for "adduser", you'll notice that the default method of creating users is to give each one of them their own group, instead of lumping them into "users" "staff" "guests", etc. Under this scheme, a umask of 2 is safe. If you change this default, It's expected that you would also change the default in /usr/share/skel. -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@teamos2.org | | TeamOS/2 Online admin Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
