No, I was thinking more along the lines of inheriting permissions on new files from the directory they are in, i.e. umask 22 mkdir inherit && chmod 5700 inherit (let's pretend 5 is my inherit mode) cd inherit && touch test The end result would be that test would be created 0600 (or maybe 0700 but that's not very handy). Does that make sense? Is it possible?
