Ssh file permissions umask

I did do so after not seeing the expected results, but is this really necessary? Or can I just log out from the server and log back in, and should new PAM policies be effective? Or is there some 'PAM' program to reload? I ended up setting the umask in the following files:. I want this change to apply to all users, so some sort of system-wide change would be best. Can it be achieved? I mean WHAT just happened here?!

We should get every single time. Instead I get , , , and then once And the is only achieved when creating a new, blank file through SSH, which is the least probable scenario. Sometimes we mount a server locally, using sshfs. Very useful. But again, we have permissions issues.

But what now happens is that we see all files and directories as if they are So does this umask on sshfs just create a 'filter' that shows unreal file permissions?

And I tried to open a file from another user but the same group that had real permissions but 'fake' permissions, and I could still not read this, so what good is this filter?? From my tests I can see that the umask that is being applied also somehow influences the directory permissions. However, I want my files to be and my directories to be So is it possible to have a different umask for directories? So I do not know what to believe anymore. Should I just give up? Would ACL solve all my problems?

Or do I have again problems using Ubuntu? One word of caution with backups using tar. This means that all acls will be lost when you create a backup. I am very willing to upgrade to Ubuntu If we can't think of anything better, you could either use fam or gamin to watch for new files being created and fix the permissions on them, or even just a script that runs periodically and sets the permissions on all files.

Set a default ACL on all folder for the group, which will then be inherited by all future files and directories. Looks like though if "preserve" is set when a file is copied, the default ACL doesn't work. In that case, I can only suggest running the find commands in cron or monitoring the filesystem for changes.

If you setgid a directory, then all the files and directories created inside it are automatically assigned to its group. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

If setting non-executable umask bit it won't be possible to list directories. See comment on unix.

This is wrong or confusing. But the correct function is different: See en. Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge. Kangur Kangur 7, 3 3 gold badges 24 24 silver badges 28 28 bronze badges. In fuse drivers the umask option does not work intuitively.

You can configure your file permissions inside of your Windows drives using the mount options in wsl. The mount options allow you to set umask , dmask and fmask permissions masks. The umask is applied to all files, the dmask is applied just to directories and the fmask is applied just to files. These permission masks are then put through a logical OR operation when being applied to files, e.
