    Description

      Documentation Request Summary:

      As of this change, new files created by MongoDB are not readable/writeable/executable by user or other, independently of how the user umask is set. The old behavior, where we respect the user umask, is available by setting the new setParameter 'honorSystemUmask' to true (it defaults to false).

      Engineering Ticket Description:

      The WiredTiger data files in the data directory are given permissions

       666 xor umask 

      As rad as this number is, unless there is a pressing reason for more open permissions we should probably change it to 600 since that is what mmapv1/legacy mongo does.
