I completely agree. I tried to make it shorter, but couldn't come up with a good formulation. > and also I don't like the use of "possibly". How about: > > s/possibly reduced by the umask/umask permitting/ I see your point, but "umask permitting" may be a bit more difficult to grasp depending on the reader's level of English. How about just dropping the "possibly"? I was only using it to express the fact that sometimes the permissions are left unchanged by the umask, but that's usually implied. And now that I think of it, "restricted" might be a better word than "reduced". I have no strong objections to your suggestion though, so feel free to commit it that way if you feel it's the best alternative.
