Re: systemwide umask definition?
Thanks to Jacob, i figured out that my statement/request was somewhat unprecise. What i really do want to do is to set a umask for OpenOffice w/kde, as well as all other kde applications. I noticed that if i open a terminal session, check the umask, it will not be set according to what i put in /etc/profile or /etc/login.defs. If, however, i su - into the same user, i see th correct umask. That leads me to the guess that kde sets a umask differently and independant of the login / standard umask. So the precise question would be: Where can i define a system wide umask for kde sessions?
TIA,
Dan

What syntax did you use? On my Sarge system it's in /etc/profile with a
simple "umask 022" line. Logging out and back in should be enough for
this setting to take affect.
What did you do to believe that the umask setting wasn't working?
