It uses umask, but it sets it to 007 before creating the new file and restores it afterword, because it specifically doesn't want the file readable by 'other' as it contains plain text passwords. BTW, 644 isn't good. It should be 664 (umask = 002) to do what you want as files should be group writable, but it isn't critical in the case of config.pck because it's always a new file that's written - the old one is only read. >Is there a way >to change what it uses as standard permissions?
