How can I create config files with world write access?
I tried:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <photon/PxProto.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
void main(void)
{
umask(0);
if(0 != PxConfigOpen( “./bla.ini”, PXCONFIG_WRITE| PXCONFIG_CREATE ) )
{
PxConfigWriteBool( “Test”, “locked”, PXCONFIG_FMT_BOOL_YES, !0 );
PxConfigClose();
}
}
but my ‘bla.ini’ always looks like this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kho mbs 20 Aug 30 15:55 bla.ini
Looks strange. Any ideas?
(I know, I could do a chmod() after closing …)

You mean the argument of the umask()-function? It’s zero
as quoted in the sample code.
BTW: if I use ‘umask(0777);’ instead, I get the access rights set
as expected:
---------- 1 kho mbs 20 Sep 02 15:05 bla.ini
[quoted just to keep the context]

No I mean the CMASK of the process environment which is 02 in most cases
and clears the ‘other w-bit’. Mostly set in the .profile.
I don’t remember the name of this ENV, sorry.

Yes, umask(0) changes nothing.

Thanks for the hint!
I indeed found a ‘umask 2’ in the default profile ‘/etc/profile’, but
no environment variable, that had something to do with masking any
permission bits.
I also changed the default in /etc/profile to 0, but no change.
Perhaps someone of QSSL could give a comment on this
