/etc/launchd-user.conf and launchd.conf no longer work in Yosemite.

[MrP]

As the subject says. According to this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201684, they should. However according to the man page for launchd.conf. "launchd.conf is no longer respected by the system."

Setting "umask 077" in /etc/launchd-user.conf should be forcing the default file creation permissions to 600, and folder creation to 700, but it is not doing anything.

Has anyone else seen this/have any ideas?

Have it set at 007 at a client (to work around the infamous Creative-Suite-Saving-To-A-Server issues) and not seeing this on 10.10.2.

Robert, thanks for the response. Are you working with a new install of Yosemite or an upgrade?

[MrP]

I've just tried this on a fresh install of 10.10.2. doing a "touch 1" creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw-r--r--. On my mountain lion Mavericks install it creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw------- as expected. :(
