Sorry if this question has been asked many times before.
On a new CentOS 7 system, when I create files they end up with strange permissions. For example, as root:
[root@server ~]# umask 0000 [root@server ~]# touch a [root@server ~]# ls -l a -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 11:45 a
As a regular user:
[stern@server ~]$ umask 0000 [stern@server ~]$ touch b [stern@server ~]$ ls -l b -rw------- 1 stern stern 0 Oct 10 11:47 b
In both cases the permsissions should have been -rw-rw-rw-. What on earth is going on, and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Alan Stern
