CentOS - Jun 2010 - umask not functioning with cp command

Hi all,

$ umask 0002
$ mkdir test
$ ls -ld test
drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:04 test/

$ls -ld content
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:29 content

$ cp -r content test/
$ls -ld test/content
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jun 23 19:29 content

My question is, how can I make content directory permission mode to 775 if I
do cp inside the test directory?

Thanks.

Regards,
James

Hi James,
in this case, you must copy with cp -p (or better -a same -dpR) to 
preserve all atributes.

man cp

Gru?

-p preserves the source permissions...
In this case, he wants the target directory to inherit its permissions from its
parent...
And I think Unix doesn't support the idea of inherited permissions (except
for the sgid bit).
Is running a simple 'chmod 775 test/content', after the cp, not an
option...?
