VirtualBox disrespects umask when creating files in shared folders — at Initial Version

Reported by: László Monda Owned by:
Component: shared folders Version: VirtualBox 1.5.6
Keywords: umask permission problem Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

I want my WinXP guest to create files using shared folders on the filesystem of my Gutsy host with the permission 644. I set umask to 0022, but VirtualBox creates files with permission 600.

I've even modified the VirtualBox script right before

exec "/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox" "$@"

to include

umask 0022

but VirtualBox obviously disrespects umask by creating files with permission 600.
