Hi Chris.

I am a bit confused as to what you mean. I thought that to determine the final file perms of a file you take the 1's compliment of the umask and logically AND that with the file perms being requested by the application creating the file. If this is correct, there is no umask value available that would work because anything ANDed with a zero (the perms that are being issued by NSUserDefaults when writing the plist file) remains zero and I need a 1 in the GROUP READ bit.

Did I misunderstand the direction that you were pushing me?

Thanks, Al

Hi all.

This may be a bit OT but I am wondering if there is any way to change my
the default privileges for my cocoa applications plist (preference)
files. They are being written as 600 and I would like to get 640.

I thought that maybe there was a global configuration option somewhere
that specifies this but I don't know where it might be.

Thanks, Al

Presumably you could use umask() to set this.

Cheers,

Chris
