Hi guys,

I was curious of why the ltib/ installation directory is world writable. My investigation shows that line 61 in the bin/ltib_install script
actually sets the umask to 0. Why is that?

In a Unix system you normally need very good reasons for having world
writeable directories. Umask of 0022 or even 0002 is most common.
