Selective Umask

Hi,

We have umask 022 in /etc/profile for security reasons.

But I want have some other umask for selected users. how to achieve this?

Regards

If you are using bash shell you could place the command "umask XXX" in their bash_profile file. Similar for other shells as well.

Keeping the umask in user pofile does NOT solve my problem since, Iam using FTP from another server to send files to this server. So the .profile of user does NOT get activated.

Any other ideas

What does you ftp'ing files have to do with other users umask on remote machines.

I don't think it's umask you want. What are you trying to do - not how you think it should be done?
