Subject: NIS: set default umask
Good day to you all. Please forgive my ignorance in this matter, but
I'd like to get some clarification regarding setting the default umask
value for all Linux PCs in an NIS network.
If I edit /var/yp/Makefile and input:
UMASK = umask 022
... will that set the default umask for all users/systems on the NIS
network?
If so, is there anything that can override this setting on a per
user/system basis?
If so, is there anything else I can do to prevent the override?
Thanks in advance. :-)
- Ken
