Just a tidbit: This message sent me running so I can tell you that vim ( that does create an "backup" file ) creates its files with the same perms as the file you are editing. On Wed, 14 Jul 1999, sbr wrote:
I recently started using a new editor called joe, with this editor there is a feature that if your existing session is terminated, it creates a DEADJOE in the directory. While editing my shadow file my connection was terminated, thus leaving the DEADJOE in my /etc directory that was world readable containing my entire shadow file. I think the problem is self explanitory. I have emailed the creator and there is no feature to disable this that I can find or mentioned in the email. My umask setting does not seem to affect the permissions of DEADJOE. The operating system is Debian Linux 2.1 kernel 2.2.10 i386. - Spencer.
