| Usage Notes: |
Setting of this mask to allow "group" and "other" permissions for all nodes created by HPSS is discouraged. Individual nodes can have their permissions altered, if required for file sharing, by using the CHMOD command.
Currently, permission-mask must be an octal value (000-777). Unix-style syntax for owner, goup, and other access (e.g., o+x) will be added in the near future. |
| Example: | umask 022 - allows rwxr-xr-x access to be set for files. |
