Public bug reported:
umask is set in my system set to 022. This is also what umask on the
bash spits out. However, new files are always created with permission
666 and new directories with 777, thus world writeable, as is the posix
default. When I explicitely set umask in my .bashrc, for example to 002,
then the values reported by umask change accordingly, but new files are
still created with mask 666. It is not particular to the gnome or X
environment, as it also hasppens on the terminal as well. Strangely,
this does not necessarily happen to files created deep in the directory
structure, but always to files in the home directory.
