Description

hello there,

 

I am not sure fi this is bug or on purpose.

tomcat document says like below.

• https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/security-howto.html
• 29) Security Considerations -> Non Tomcat settings

 Tomcat runs with a default umask of 0027 to maintain
    these permissions for files created while Tomcat is running (e.g. log files,
    expanded WARs, etc.).

 

I can also check the default value of umask in the catalina.sh

# Set UMASK unless it has been overridden
if [ -z "$UMASK" ]; then
    UMASK="0027"
fi
umask $UMASK 

 

however, if i run the tomcat using by jsvc, 0077 is applied by default.

• unix/native/arguments.c : 176
• args->umask = 0077;

 

does jsvc conform the default value described in the docment?
