I have discovered that Mandrake 8.1 /etc/bashrc sets the umask for many
users to 002, which is a problem because files extracted from cvs have
group write priviledges. It is fairly easy to fix, once the source of
the problem is recognized. I'm not sure how widespread this is in other
Linux distributions.
