This question concerns those of us here who maintain the sun unix operating system we developers have recently switched to. We are by and large new to the environment. What we need to know is how to change what default mode settings are given to a file when created. currently all users create a file with the mode: -rw-r--r-- we want to change this to: -rw-rw-r-- what command does this. nothing is referenced to in this regard in the chmod man page. so far, this is the only way to change the mode after creating the file: chmod g+w <filename> is there a way to avoid that step and have the mode -rw-rw-r-- whenever a file is created? please email your reply as i do not regularily read this news group. thanks. .

This is a joke, right?
I mean, everybody knows what UNIX stands for, right?
