[lmi-commits] [lmi] master 2c95d17 2/5: Set umask more delicately

[Greg Chicares]

branch: master
commit 2c95d17e238064b8a23f69016c3821bd096a232c
Author: Gregory W. Chicares <address@hidden>
Commit: Gregory W. Chicares <address@hidden>

    Set umask more delicately
    
    Instead of forcing umask 022, change only the group bits. This:
      umask g=u
    would be nicer, but umask doesn't allow such a mode specification.
    If umask was 077, it becomes 007; rationale here:
