Another good point. It seems that my concerns about umask might be
misguided.
Dunno. I'm fairly private and like to end my umask in a 7 normally. Usually
discussions revolve around the group bits.
Normally you wouldn't share membership of your personal group - this arranges
that 027 (or the like) in your home directory is essentially private. Instead,
one makes other groups for shared work.
For example, my partner and I have a group for "us"; both our personal accounts
are in it (so it is a secondary group membership); we have a shared third
account (for stuff to do with home and so on); its group has both our
individual accounts as members, giving both of us read/write to it.
