Wrong file permissions for /etc/timekpr/<username>

[Charly]

After setting "umask 077" in /etc/profile, /etc/timekpr/<username> files get the wrong file permission 600 instead of 644. Consequently, timekpr client can't read the files after user login and doesn't start.

timekpr itself should care for the correct file permissions independently of umask setting.

Workaround: Configure timekpr settings for each user and alter file permissions afterwards once.

My /etc/timekpr/<username> files had owner:group == root:root, permissions = 0640, still preventing the client from accessing them.

My workaround was to change the group ownership of each file to the per-user group.

-rw-r----- 1 root username 45 2010-11-20 21:08 username

this still keeps users' setting private from each other
