So what is the reason for this difference? Is it intentional or a
bug?
I'm guessing your umask settings on both systems differ.
Thanks for the pointer; I wasn't previously aware of the "umask" feature of
Unixes, though I'm not surprised it exists either.
The umask does indeed differ on the 2 systems, but their values suggest this
isn't the complete story.
Typing "umask" on the Mac OS X gives "0022" and on Linux gives "0002". This
would suggest default file permissions "-rw-r--r--" on Mac OS X and "-rw-rw-r--"
on Linux.
So, umask can explain the Linux perms all by themselves but there must be more
to it with the Mac OS X.
Regardless, I consider my question to be answered, so thank you.
