[sork] Permission problems

Hi All,

I now know what was causing my vacation messages to fail.

When Sork/vacation creates them it sets the file permissions too high.

I set Sork/vacation up on two supposedly identical red hat machines and only
one of them is setting these high permissions.

On the dodgy system it was setting the permissions to be -rw-rw-r-- and when
I change these to -rw-r--r-- it works fine.

What should I be checking now to make sure the Sork and system umasks are
the same for both systems.

Thanks,
Craig
