changing default file permissions
How can I change the default permissions that are assigned when I create a file? (By default the file has: -rw-r--r-- ..... I'd like it to be -rw-r-----
How can I change this default behavior? |

I put umask 077 (the permissions that I want, RWX for owner, nothing for group or all) in the .profile.
But after I logout and log back in, it's as if it is not working. Is .profile the correct file to put this line into? |

You need to put the line in the startup file for whatever shell you are using. That way, when your shell starts after you login, it will set the umask. .profile is a common name for the startup file. But we need to know what shell you use to be sure.
