joar@jupiter:~$ umask 0002 joar@jupiter:~$
I wonder why they’ve changed umask from 0022 to 0002 in Ubuntu 11.10 .
Look like yet an other ‘make linux userfriendly’ apporach http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00628.html
Personally I’m not a fan of files being group writeable when i create them:
joar@jupiter:~$ tail -1 .bashrc umask 0022 joar@jupiter:~$ bash joar@jupiter:~$ umask 0022 joar@jupiter:~$
