umask
The umask only restricts permissions; it cannot grant extra permissions beyond what is specified by the program that creates the file or directory. When programs create files, they usually specify read and write permissions for all users, and no execute permissions at all (rw-rw-rw- or octal 666 in traditional Unix notation). Files created in this way will not be executable even if the umask would have allowed that.
