I am confused how an rpm package I generated to simplify adding support 
for an additional hardware device (reflective memory card).  I hope 
someone can explain what happens and the proper way I should create the 
rpm.

My problem is somehow related to the umask setting, since I did not have 
any problems until the default umask changed to 077 to comply with 
security settings.  Installing the rpm package after the default umask is 
077, some header files that are place in /usr/lib/rfm2g directory with no 
permission for group and world.

My install section for the header files uses the command install -d 
/usr/lib/rfm2g.  When I test the command by setting my umask to 077 and 
test the command I get a directory created with read and execute rights 
for everyone (owner, group, and world).  What is the rpm package doing 
differently?
