/etc/bashrc umask

Hi,

I got this redhat ent 4 assigned to me now.

/etc/bashrc

if [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" -a `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
umask 022
else
umask 077
fi

What does it mean?

I created already three user and it never had 022 umask, always 077.

Thank you in advance.

UMASK(2)						      BSD System Calls Manual							  UMASK(2)

NAME
umask -- set file creation mode mask LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stat.h> mode_t umask(mode_t numask); DESCRIPTION
The umask() routine sets the process's file mode creation mask to numask and returns the previous value of the mask. The 9 low-order access permission bits of numask are used by system calls, including open(2), mkdir(2), mkfifo(2) and mknod(2) to turn off corresponding bits requested in file mode. (See chmod(2)). This clearing allows each user to restrict the default access to his files. The default mask value is S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH (022, write access for the owner only). Child processes inherit the mask of the calling process. RETURN VALUES
The previous value of the file mode mask is returned by the call. ERRORS
The umask() function is always successful. SEE ALSO
chmod(2), mkdir(2), mkfifo(2), mknod(2), open(2) STANDARDS
The umask() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1''). BSD
