The default umask on all machines we have in 026. Here, I'm on one
machine (pessoa) and edit a new file on another machine (alonzo) via the
'on' command. I also have 'umask 026' in my .cshrc.
The problem is tht editing via 'on' ignores the umask and generates a file
that's 666. Both machines are SPARCs running SunOS4.0.3.

Any ideas what the problem is anyone ???
