I'm getting a bit uncomfortable about starting this thread, because upon
reflection, it seems that one consequence of setting the system-wide may
be that the 027 umask will end up having some system account creating a
file that should be world-readable or world-executable, but because of
the umask, it now would not be, and so would break stuff. My intent was
to protect data of one user from other users, which could be done by
making the change in .profile or even in the default .bashrc.
