[SunHELP] umask

[Sangbutsarakum, Patai]

I've use Solaris 2.6 what's up? with permission of file.
if we use 777 minus with umask
$ umask
023
$ touch file1
$ mkdir dir1 
$ ls -ald file1 dir1
drwxr-xr--   2 patrick  staffth      512 Jul 27 09:00 dir1
....[777-023= 754]
-rw-r--r--   1 patrick  staffth        0 Jul 27 09:00 file1
....[666-023=643]

Please suggest because. I've read one book that tell to me rite that
But when i test. The result isn't what suppose to be.

Regards
Patrick

Warren,

I was reading about this a few days ago. "umask" for files is 666 minus the
umask set for the files. "umask" for directories is 777 minus the umask set
for the directory. I haven't read how to distinguish from files or
directories
yet, but I've read that it can be done.
