PJD> "set umask of another process"? This seems... weird. What's the purpose PJD> of this change? When we were discussing this with Kostik and Robert, and I asked if it could be useful to have the sysctl rw, Kostik described a real situation when he had had to change umask of another process: umask had not been set properly on an aplication start but it could not be restarted until the end of the day. Kostik was able to fix it using gdb but having an easier way looked useful. -- Mikolaj Golub
