help setting umask corrently

[Gregory Machin]

Hi.
found the info I needed to get it correct

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask

   0 – read, write and execute
   1 – read and write
   2 – read and execute
   3 – read only
   4 – write and execute
   5 – write only
   6 – execute only
   7 – no permissions

so I ended up with umask 003


Thanks
