Hello,I've opened a case with IBM but so far they have not been able to provide a sollution.
I'm running aix 5.2 maint level 3. In etc/security/user the umask is set to 002 for default user. I created a directory /sasmart in my /users file system. After cd to /users, I used chmod -R 775 sasmart and verified that permissions were set correctly to rwxrwxr_x on the sasmart directory. But whenever a new file is created in that directory it has the wrong permissions of rw_rw_r. Even if I manually type in umask 002 it still enda up with 664 rather than 775 for any new files. I can change all files to 775 with chmod but the next time files are created they come with 664. The problem occurs if I am logged in as root or any other user.
I'm stumped as to what is subtracting 1 from each digit of my 775.
Thanks - Brad
