Hello.

We use pw for automatic registration of new users in the system.
For security reasons we use 072 as umask for all users. Unfortunately,
pw creates a user home directory with the umask which was for the one
who has started pw.

How to solve this problem?

May be it is necessary to add support umask?

It is possible to be oriented on umask which is indicated in login
class (which it is passed to pw by -L option).
