The mkdir utility creates parent directories with mode 0o777 & ~umask. $ mkdir -p -m 0 t1/t2/t3 $ ls -l -d t1 t1/t2 t1/t2/t3 drwxrwxr-x 3 serhiy serhiy 4096 Dec 7 22:30 t1/ drwxrwxr-x 3 serhiy serhiy 4096 Dec 7 22:30 t1/t2/ d--------- 2 serhiy serhiy 4096 Dec 7 22:30 t1/t2/t3/ So perhaps we should just use 0o777 mode for parent directories.
