setting the umask to define default permissions for created files
the parameter to use is umask https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask
-
on a cluster I get
$ umask 0022 $ touch test $ ls -l test -rw-r--r-- 1 perrinet.l invibe 0 Nov 28 11:32 test $ umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o= $ touch test2 $ ls -l test2 -rw-rw---- 1 perrinet.l invibe 0 Nov 28 11:33 test2
-
so I did:
perrinet.l@frioul:~$ vim .profile # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells. # This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login # exists. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples. # the files are located in the bash-doc package. # the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask # for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package. #umask 022 # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o= # if running bash if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then # include .bashrc if it exists if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then . "$HOME/.bashrc" fi fi # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi

before loging out I have
perrinet.l@frioul:~$ umask 0022
-
and after
perrinet.l@frioul:~$ logout Connection to frioul.int.univ-amu.fr closed. [11:36:49]int-users-4-058: ~/Desktop/Dropbox/TROPIQUE/demos/12-11-11_projection $ frioul ###### ##### # #### # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #### #### ###### perrinet.l@frioul:~$ umask 0007 perrinet.l@frioul:~$ touch test perrinet.l@frioul:~$ ls -l test -rw-rw---- 1 perrinet.l invibe 0 Nov 28 11:37 test perrinet.l@frioul:~$
Done!
