Hi, I'm looking for an easy way to have an umask on a couple of dirs that is different from the normal user's umask. Normally you set: # umask 022 Which results in 644 permissions (for files and 755 for dirs) when you create new files. I'd like to have an umask of 002 for some specific dirs. Anyone know an easy way to do this?
