Description Florian Brand 2006-11-28 13:25:59 UTC 
New behaviour of /etc/bashrc (umask 022 for all) breaks UPG configuration for
many systems without gaining additional security. Please revert to the RHEL4
behaviour of

if [ $UID -gt 99 ] && [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" ]; then
    umask 002
else
    umask 022
fi
