I see that jkim changed the directory creation code to use _DEF_DIRMODE =
(which is defined in pw.h as S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO) in rev 219408.
However, I would expect mkdir() to follow the umask value, so I would =
not expect your suggested patch to result in any functional difference. =
I would expect that we should instead chmod() after mkdir() to apply a =
useful access mode to the directory after creation, or temporarily =
change the umask before mkdir().
