It seems that the umask is being ignored when creating a file on a
remotely mounted file system. In Ultrix 2.3 (and previous) the umask
was used in determining the permissions when creating a file, but
Ultrix 3.0 is ignoring it.
ultrix> umask 2
ultrix> ef /Ultrix3.0_filesystem/file
ultrix> ls -l /Ultrix3.0_filesystem/file
-rw-r--r-- 1 bvsmith 0 May 10 13:42 /Ultrix3.0_filesystem/file
^there should be a 'w' here
ultrix> ef /Ultrix2.3_filesystem/file
ultrix> ls -l /Ultrix2.3_filesystem/file
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bvsmith 0 May 10 13:42 /Ultrix2.3_filesystem/file
^there is a 'w' here as there should be
