Unmasking the Linux Umask

[@arduinoguru7233]

2:01 Every time I come to this channel I learn something new (ctr+L), BTW you were the only one who teach me Ctrl+Shif+F2 trick to connect to another TTY ( _I know this looks basic_ ) but for the whole 13 years Linux learning/reading I never ever come cross to single tutorial/article mentioned it at all, same with ctr+L and many basic tutorials you post in the channel ( _like files ownership_ ) etc, very solid contents comes from real master.

Thank you so much. I believe that many tutorials and paid training miss out crucial shortcuts.

Well done, Andrew. I've always been a bit fuzzy on umask; this clears up a lot. And thank you so much for enabling subtitles again!

I've always wished that unix had a native way to set a umask on a directory basis.

[@theurbanpenguin]

Then it would be part of each file system and not the shell. But I see your point. A kinda hack would be through the HISTCMD variable running a script to check CWD. But that would only work if you were in the directory

Very cool 😎 👍

[@theurbanpenguin]

Thank you.

and what would umask 777 do?

[@theurbanpenguin]

Would remove all permissions. Not really a problem as the owner can always set permissions
