| Description |
|---|
| The umask controls the default access mode assigned to newly created files. A umask of 077 limits new files to a mode of 700 or less permissive. Although umask is often represented as a 4-digit octal number, the first digit representing special access modes is typically ignored or required to be 0. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - The hypervisor does not support this function. |
