# The result of '0077' being -- and I'll use standard octal with which we're all

# probably familiar -- that all new files are created using the '600'

# permissions, and directories are '700'.

# Remember, the standard format means 4=read, 2=write, and 1=execute. However, the

# umask uses the same, but is inverted, so a umask of '077' would be 700, and
|
|
|
|
|
# correctly lowers to 600 when it's just a file.
