Setting the default file creation umask

Note: If you are upgrading from Empirica Signal 8.0 using the same application server, skip this section.

You modify the default file creation umask so that by default, users in your group have read-only access to files you create. Users outside your group have no access to the files you create.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

1. Navigate to your home directory, for example:

   $ cd ~

2. Using a text editor, open the .login file.
3. Add the following command to the file:

   umask 027

4. Save and close the file.
