Hi,

under debian lenny during the boot process all created run files are
0644, but I want 0640.

Does anyone know how to configure that?

I'm not sure how to configure the umask for init itself, but on my Lenny
install at least, all other startup scripts are run from /etc/init.d/rc,
which is a shell script you can edit to change the umask.  I'm not sure if
there will be any unexpected side-effects from the change you propose, but
it would be fun to find out.  :-)


man cmask might be of some interest.
