Anything that does create file
chmod 0600 file
umask 077
create fileby eqvinox

Foe the ones, like me, who didn't know why you recommended that:By setting umask 077 first and then creating the file, the file gets created with the correct restrictive permissions (0600) in one step instead leaving the file readable for "everyone" for a moment.

Thank you for your opinion, Bill.Just kidding, I agree with the sentiment. It's 2026 not 1976. You don't need separate physical partitions for most use cases.
