permissions problem.


I have a web server whose data srae I routinely NFS mount as a quick way of shoving data onto it.

The web server has group sticky bits set to force group ownership to www-data the apache 'user' id.

My desktop here is debian and gnome, but when I drag and drop files these days - and it never used to be that way - they are appearing as no read permissions on group so the web server can't access them.

Its easy enough to fix explicitly, but how to set default files saving in gnome as - say - 644?

Hmm.

further to that it seems that a lot of stuff irrespective of NFS is appearing with no group read perms - mainly saved web images and downloaded PDFS and that may be the problem..

If I touch a file its 644.

If I save a file from the document viewer or possible direct from a web download, its 600

???
