If not specified, the system-provided default is used. The value given must always be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial digit being zero.</p> <p>If $umask is specified multiple times in the configuration file, results may be somewhat unpredictable. It is recommended to specify it only once.</p> <p><b>Sample:</b></p> <p><code><b>$umask 0000</b></code></p> <p>This sample removes all restrictions.</p> <p>[<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">rsyslog.conf overview</a>] [<a href="manual.html">manual index</a>] [<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog site</a>]</p> <p><font size="2">This documentation is part of the <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslog</a> project.<br> Copyright © 2007 by <a href="http://www.gerhards.net/rainer">Rainer Gerhards</a> and <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/">Adiscon</a>.
