Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience, Once again with umask

Please, let me know how the umask is working? As per my understanding is aprt from subtracting from 666/777, logical gate operation is performing.

Ex: If I set uname 011, it gave the permission like 666 for file. Request you to explain which gate's operation performed.

$umask 011
$umask
0011
$vi abc
$ls -l abc
-rw-rw-rw- 1 unixguy staff 29 Jan 26 14:03 abc

May I know why it should give -rw-rw-rw- if i set 011? As well if i see 000 also differ, may I know how the kernel is behaving?

Thanks,
Naga
