Bug 55780 – Nano 1.3.2 disregards umask

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toni Suokas 2004-07-01 05:25:55 UTC]

When creating files with Nano 1.3.2 , all files get the permission of 600 instead of the umask, which is set to 0022 (thus the files should be 644). Touching files (touch foo) produces correct permission based on umask

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start editing new file with nano
2. save the file
3. 

Actual Results:  
the file permissions were incorrect 

Expected Results:  
the file permissions should have been those defined by umask

what about nano-1.3.3 ?

1.3.3 does the same. Just reverted back to 1.2.4, wich saves the files with correct permissions. Haven't tried the other 1.3 releases, to see if this is a common bug in 1.3.

ok, David Lawrence Ramsey put together a small patch which you can find in 1.3.2-r1 and 1.3.3-r1
