Setting the umask for your process
==================================

When using a linux package such as a RPM or Deb, the umask, associated with the user running the process,
will determine what permissions files generated by the process, such as log file, will have. Usually the system default umask
for daemons is fine and can be left unchanged, however sometime the need arises to oerride it.

``src/templates/etc-default`` and adding a line such as the following:


.. code-block:: bash
