A quick question for all you Oracle/UNIX people...... I need to create a file with the
permissions 775 ( rwxrwxr-x ) and I have set the umask to what all the books recommend.... with no luck.... The end user cant user CHMOD on the file, so I need
to have the files created as 775. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

$ umask -S

u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx
$ touch junk
$ ls -l junk

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle dba 0 Jun 2 09:49 junk

777

775
002

$ umask 002
$ touch junk
$ ls -l junk

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle dba 0 Jun 2 09:55 junk
