Umask works for new files well, but if I get a file via Skype with permission like 600 and then I put that file on NFS, it keeps permission 600 thus others from a group cant use it at all (I am sharing files via common group). So the question is how to enforce some default file / folder permission on NFS? So in this example, I put file on NFS as client with 600 and it turns into 660 or similar (kind like a mask). Is it even possible or you have any suggestions? Debian 6 is a NFS server, clients are Kubuntu 12.04.1 stations that mounted NFS exported folder. Thank you very much in advance. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

I don't think you can... but the current behavior seems like the right thing to do, since changing permissions on files could create security problems. The best workaround I can come up with is creating a cron job to change permissions on everything in the directory (or if you're creative enough, just the new files).
