Hi guys,

just wondering what UMASK = "022" means ??
what I know is like
777 means rwxrwxrwx
775 means rwxrwxr-x

what about 022??

Cheers

If I'm not mistaken:

a file is created with 666 minus umask value
so 666 minus 022 becomes 644 -rw-r--r--


a dir is created with 777 minus umask value
so 777 minus 022 becomes 755 drwx-r-xr-x


HTH,
