If the default umask for AIX is 666, how can I set user umask so new files are created with permissions of 775? The "umask ###" command only lets you subtract from 666, it appears that I would need to add to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

default umask
- Thread starter Skeater
- Start date
If umask is set for 022 .
Then the default permissions of a directory created will be ,
777-022=755
(Should subtract umask from 777 )
The default permissions of a file created will be ,
666-022=644
( Should subtract umask from 666)
Therefore there exists no umask value for file permission which would fit in to your requirement.
