Umask help

I changed the umask in /etc/security/user to 027.
I changed the umask in /etc/profile to 027.
My current shell is ksh.
My .profile doesn't make any changes to umask or call other scripts that change umask.

Running AIX 5.3

I still get a umask of 022 instead of the expected 027. I have no idea why. Please help.

I fix it

You cannot have a comment on the same line of the umask value in /etc/security/user. The system will ignore the line if you do.
