not necessarily, I can 'chmod 700 ~/' and don't have to worry about
the current process' umask, however, I have no control over what happens
to /tmp. I think the default permissions when creating files in /tmp
should be masked with '077' but it's probably not worth to start a huge
discussion about this here. I understand what's going on and I have
configured an appropriate solution for my systems.
