Hello, I have a question aboout the umask under FreeBSD. I couldn't find what it exactly is. It is something for setting files how you set the 'xrwxrwxrw' I found a file where you could chance it but don't knwo anymore what it was. I want to use this for my ftp-server with FreeBSD. I have a directory 'upload' where all my friends can put there files. They are all members of the group 'ftpusers'. But when they put a file in that directory all the other users from the group 'ftpusers' canchange or delete this file. I want to change it so that the write bit for the group is off when someonse of the ftpusers group writes something in the folder 'upload'. Can I do this with changing the umaks and how do I change that? I couldn't found any information on that. Thanks , Koen
