(this was on a suggestion to me from LSOFT > tech support). Shouldn't that be 'umask 077' if you want to block all of the group and world permission bits? A mask of "066" will still allow the creation of files with a permission of "rwx--x--x" Also, having a "077" umask won't guarantee that all files are created as rwx------, but will make sure that the "owner" bits are set as requested and that all other bits are not set. so, you could get r-------- --------- rw------- -w------- r-x------ --x------ rwx------ -wx------ depending upon which bits are set by the requesting by the program, but nothing in the last six places.
