Default umask value

[jmedaglia]

Hi all!

Was playing with Transmission and changed its umask to 0 at some point. It now seems it has screwed the umask for the whole system, every folder/file I create through ssh is set to 777.

Can someone confirm which is the default umask value?

Just ssh the routed and enter

umask

How do I change this back to its default value which is 022 I'm guess. Shouldn't need to use profile.add config files

Thanks!

The default umask is 0000

0000 feels very permissive to be the default IMO.

You don't use Transmission and have changed its umask settings as I did, do you?

As RMerlin said in another thread yesterday "There is no su, because the whole firmware is designed around a single user."

Sorry, no I don't use Transmission.
