Quoth indra@ashirvad.amd.com (Indra Singhal) (in <1990Oct12.003227.8315@amd.com>):
#In SunOS, a umask 022 would create directories with 755 permission and 
#all files with 644 permission.
#
#In PC-NFS if you do a: net umask 022, even files are created with 755
#permissions which is not good. 

Why do you regard it is "not good"? What problems does it cause?

Just curious.

#And if you try using 'net umask 133' any
#directories you make are unusable.

Fixed in the next release.
