Security :: Change Of Umask Values In Fedora 11
Feb 4, 2010Recently I was going through some chmod manipulations and found the umask values to be 0002 by default in Fedora 11 distro. What I knew about the default values to be 022. I don't know whether this is a kernel modification in this distro or my system is in compromise(I doubt for the latter option, but not confirmed).

When I change it on desktop login as regular user to the right thing, then log out or reboot, I have to change it again when I log back in again. This is with an Audigy2 card, and onboard audio chip. I switch between the two for various reasons.

But the umask is still showing as 0022
After the first attempt is failed I tried changing it using below command.
Code:
Validated it.
Code:
rebooted the machine but the umask is still showing 0022
So at last i have to modify /etc/bashrc file and add umask 077 at the end of the file.
How would i make it in general for all(Even for non-root user) and not just for bash prompt.
Security :: Have To Change Umask Value?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Umask And Permissions - Has Umask 007 Bad Side Effects?
Mar 16, 2011My Debian system has by default umask permissions of 0022, which I never liked. One user can read all the files of another seems very insecure to me.
I am planing to set it to 007, so that user and group have rw but all others have none.
Are there any side effects to that? I have noticed from a trial I did where I was changing permissions on the filesystem that some system stuff in the OS does not work anymore, if "others" have no read permission anymore, so that is why I am asking.
And why are chmod / umask permissions sometimes stated as 4 digits? What is this "all" group in the end? Isn't that already covered by "others"?
Software :: Change Umask Of User ?
Jan 7, 2010I have a daemon running as a local user account on my red hat box. The problem is the daemon creates directories using a umask of 022. I need group write access to the directories the daemon is creating. I need the daemon to use a umask of 002. I've edited the daemons startup script in /etc/init.d I've changed the umask in the /etc/init.d/functions file. I've added the line "umask 002" in the user's ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile files. I've also setup /etc/bashrc to assign all users a 002 umask (just for kicks)

Dec 28, 2009I have 2 Oracle users that generate .tmp files under /var/tmp. By default, the files have the permissions 644. Now, a need has arisen whereby the files created by these users have to have the permission bits as 664. Obviously, I changed the UMASK value for these users from 022 to 02. But the files are still getting created with 644 as the permission.
I tried restarting the application as I read that a relogin is required for the UMASK change to take effect. Even that hasn't helped.
Ubuntu :: Change The UMASK For Users Who Log In On A LTSP Terminal?
Jun 25, 2010I'm setting up an application server for a small organization using Ubuntu 10.04 and LTSP. We built a machine with a quad core Athlon II, got a Gigabit swtich, and a couple Gigabit ethernet cards. I burned gPXE into a couple EPROMs and turned their old PIII and Duron systems into thin clients.
So far so good.
Now, I'm trying to set up a shared directory that two users in the same group can both read and write. Let's call it "/home/shared". I want to set UMASK to 007, so that by default, files are created readable and writable by user and group, with no permissions for anybody else. I changed a line in "/etc/profile" from "umask 022" to "umask 007". After rebooting the app server, the umask does appear to be 007 when you log in at the console. However, it doesn't seem to affect the terminals.
So I figured I needed to change it in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile". vi helped me out with that. Didn't make a difference in the terminals. Ok, I need to rebuild the image, so I did an "ltsp-update-image" and rebooted the terminal. umask is still 022. ???
I changed UMASK in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/login.defs" and rebuilt the image. No change. ??? I really don't understand why this isn't working.
How can I change the UMASK for users who log in on an LTSP terminal?
Ubuntu :: Change Umask On Per User / Group Basis?
Mar 25, 2011I've decided to move this question into a new thread since i haven't received an answer for 3 days. This question was originaly posted here: [URL]... I've already searched in google, however i wasn't able to find an answer that solves my problem... How can i change the umask on a per user basis so that each user can have its own umask to fit his needs? For example: I have four accounts on my system ex.
admin1 : admin,
admin2 : admin,
manager : stuff,
user : user,
-So now I want everything from the admin group to be by default set to 002 (so that every user that is in the admins group can have a full share (-rwx rwx r--) of everything that is created by the admins).
-Then the similar to the above managers shoud have 022 umask.
-And each of the regular users should have 002 or 022 or 077 it is up to the users choice.
I hope that i have provided enough info thorough the example.
General :: Change Umask For Files Created In Ext2/ext3
Oct 28, 2009I have ext3 partition mounted on /mnt/shared/ as follows
Code:
Permissions above are of the actual mounted fs.
Goal is to have all files created on the fs
1) to belong to group 'users'
2) to have this groups permissions set to rw (rwx for directories) so that all users who belong to group 'users' have full read/write access to data and everyone else to have only read access.
Now because of setgid bit (s) in group permissions every file created has group 'users' and additionally setgid bit is set for directories. Because every users umask by default (on my system) is set to 0022 all created files will have permissions 644 for ordinary files and 755 for directories.
Net result of above means that users A and B who both belong to group 'users' won't be able to modify files created by the other.
So how can I make files created on the fs to be created always with umask 0002 WITHOUT changing default umask for users that is used elsewhere (like in their home directory) ?
General :: Umask And /usr/bin/umask ?
Apr 25, 2011Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. In Solaris we have umask (shell builtin) and /usr/bin/umask. However I could not find /usr/bin/umask in Linux.
I want to know the difference between both and how can we achieve the functionality of /usr/bin/umask in Linux as its not there...

Apr 13, 2011I use a laptop and Ubuntu 10.10 x86. Problem is I have a second monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution, and that resolution is not displayed in modes.So I solved my problem temporarily using this: Code:xrandr --newmode 1280x1024_60.00 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00 The 1280x1024 mode appears and I do "apply" -> all OK. And then I press "make default" (where I get a pop screen confirmation warning me that will be the default config after reboot) - nice! Problem is: "make default" don't work! And I have to add a new mode after each login.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Permanently Change Locale From POSIX To En_GB?
Apr 3, 2010All my LC environment variables are currently set to POSIX at boot, though I can't find the startup script that does this. I've grepped through /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d but no luck. In /etc/default/locale, LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8, which is my preferred locale. But this doesn't stop all the LC's being set to POSIX. Consequently, my dates follow the American convention, which I find hard to read.
I tried resetting with update-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8. This changed all the locales to en_GB but only for the session. When I rebooted, everything went back to POSIX. The only change is that en_GB.utf-8 is now in the /etc/default/locale file as the value of LC_TIME as well as LANG.
General :: Any Way To Permanently Change Terminal Font Size

2) Use the umask command to change your file creation mask such that,by default for new files and directories you create, no permissions are taken away from the 'user' (owner), write permissions are taken away from the 'group' (group owner), and all permissions (read, write and execute) are taken away from 'other'. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
3) Use the touch command to create a new file called testfile. Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
4) Use the chown command to change the user associated with testfile (the owner) to cint201. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
5) Use the chgrp command to change the the group associated with testfile (the group owner) to users. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
6) Use the chmod command to change the permissions for testfile such that the 'user' (owner) permissions are set to read, write and execute, the 'group' (group owner) permission are set to read and execute, the 'other' permissions are set to grant neither read, write nor execute, and finally set the SUID bit for the file. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
7) Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
Debian Installation :: "permanently" Change The Mount Point?
Feb 11, 2011I recently installed Squeeze and it was simple and is running great. I have a usb fat32 drive that shares data on 3 partitions with winxp. None are listed in fstab. They all are mounted in /media.2 partitions, Video and Music, are shown in gparted as mounted by their volume labels, which is what I want; eg /media/MUSIC. The DATA volume is mounted by its' uuid. This is how it is displayed on my desktop. The other 2 volumes display the way I want: MUSIC and VIDEO. I have changed the mount point in /media to the label name:/media/DATA but it returns to its' uuid after reboot. How can I change it to display the label name? It works fine, but I have a need to "tidy up" my desktop.

Jul 14, 2009I came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:

And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled

This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:

Fedora :: Permanently Enabling Repos ?
Feb 4, 2010I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?
