yes, the umask is the bits which are turned _off_ 0777 is the most
restrictive permission. i'm trying to let satyap write to /dev/hda1.
satyap's group is root. here's ls -ld:
[satyap]~$ ls -ld
drwx------   6 satyap   root         1024 Jun 27 23:24 .
[satyap]/c/net/in$ ls -ld
drwxrwx---  30 root     root        16384 Jun 27 01:53 .

ls -l is irrelevant. :)
