But if you do look at umask two points.
I know of no "getumask", but the umask command itself will report the current setting. Umask is the modes you do NOT want set on new files. So the umask that created -rw------- is 066 (for ordinary files 077 would work too but directory creation would be different). -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd.
