mode 0600 becomes mode 0660. Because we are saying we want these
files to be readable only by our user, the fix for this is easy:</para>

which should be something like <computeroutput>Users</computeroutput>,

domains. For example, you might want to use the <computeroutput>Domain
Users</computeroutput> group instead.</para>
