I am using ultrix 3.1 and NFS on 3 Microvax II's. 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

Threre was a bug in one of the VAX nfs versions such that NFS was using the default umask when the nfs deamons were started instead of or in addition to the user umask. The fix was to put a umask in the rc file just before the daemons were spawned. There may be a patch available that fixes this, check with the support center. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

I didn't find an applicable patch in our set of 3.1 VAX patches. ..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..
