1 You know, I was thinking a bit,
2
3 What with usergroups being the default behavior, do you think it's
4 quite reasonable to use 002 as a default umask? Most group-sharing
5 use-cases I've encountered have people that are sharing groups share
6 files as read-write anyways, and by default, users have their own
7 private group which nobody else is a member of; i.e. g+rw still won't
8 allow others to write them.
