Oh. none of the config files you listed exist.Or any analogs :@-( But it seems any program can modify up to umask..so setting umask to 664s wont mean the app does the same. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
