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

Hello List,
please reply Cc: to me as i cant follow this list from
work.
My problem is that i cant find where to set the system
wide umask for my sarge system. I've tried to do it in
/etc/profile as well as /etc/login.defs, to no avail.
So desperate that i even tried a reboot :(
Any pointers?
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?
