Yeah, I put session 1 in to demonstrate that my startup scripts are setting
the umask. My hope was that scp invokes the shell the same way and should
therefore have the same umask. I think I found my problem, though: OpenSSH
only started respecting the umask as of version 3.7 (according to the release
notes[1]), and RH9 is on version 3.5.
