setting drwx------ file permission as defualt

[Tyler1989]

How can you set the file permissions to read, write, and execute for the owner only but not allow groups or others to read, write, or execute by defualt when you make a new file.


By defualt I currently have these file permissions

owner = read, write, exucute
group = read, exucute
other = read, exucute

drwxr-xr-x

man chmod
man chown

I'll admit I haven't fully looked over the manuals but isn't that for changing individual files and folders not setting a defualt.

chgrp in combination with chmod

use it on home directory, should do it I think

in ~/.bashrc put something like

umask 077

man umask for more details

 

[horndude]

in .bashrc
