Hi there,

I've been looking at the various discussions on permissions and have one to add to the lot.

My server actually runs a script that changes ownership from 'nobody' to my username and they change the permissions of files or directories from rwxrwxrwx to rwx rx rx so everyday I have to manually change permissions.

Is there a way to get the scripts to run as my username so I can get around this problem.

Would umask 0; work for this?

Does anyone have any other solutions?

thanks for your insight.

peace.
