Lines: 5 Sender: news@nstn.ns.ca Message-ID: <3qak8t$hif@Owl.nstn.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: owl.nstn.ns.ca X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm having a problem with file permissions on compiled executables. I currently have my umask set at 077. When I compile a program, this means I should get permissions of rwx------, however, I get rwx--x--x instead. Why is my umask being ignored here?
