You cannot possibly justify or quantify that in this context. Only if we were dealing with an unknown umask would I agree with you. In chapter 4 we set umask where it is unknown. In chapter 6 we have not done anything to specify umask because we know the default of 022 prevails. Also, your first install doesn't user -m so it is also using the default umask and no different than mkdir. My goal is to showcase completely viable alternatives of how to do things. I see no attempt to do that in the current ticket. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
