I know this is a Linux 101 question, however I am unable to locate the answer in my O'Reilly Linux book: how to set the default for permissions when creating a new user. The default for the GUI in my newly installed Centos 5.5 is 700. I usually use 774.
And when root creates a new directory, is there a way to have a default there too?
man useradd man umask
Thank you! Part of the challenge is knowing what to ask for
