Looking through other users' (unprotected) files

[David Katinsky]

<At  our place, there is a Committee on Privacy that worries about
<such things.  Their major concern was that we could not teach our
<four or  five  thousand  novices  about  chmod  BEFORE  they  had
<casually  created private files which others would then browse --
<in other words: were users giving informed consent or just  using
<a defualt of "friendly" which novices (the reasonable man?) would
<not  expect?

	What about a default umask????
