Hi Monty

Sorry for misunderstanding this. I will see what I can do to fix so that the file is only world readable in the next MySQL version.

Not a problem on the misunderstanding - that is usually the writer's fault - not the reader's!

Rather than make the files world readable, could you please make the files follow the UMASK environment variable that mysqld uses, or at least use the umask of the user who is running the SELECT?

I read in the manual under file permissions: `UMASK' The user-file creation mask when creating files.

and assumed that it would be used when writing to ALL files.
