I have my umask set up as 02. If I create a file using touch the machine that has a file system mounted over the network, I get 644 as the permission. If I go over the the nfs server of that partion and I create a different file using touch I get 664. Does umask work correctly with nfs? Is the some other thing beside umask that will set the permission of the files. Thanks in Advance Cathy Accettura Space Astronomy Lab University of Wisconsin 608-263-4678 cathy@sal.wisc.edu
