$ umask

$ mkdir bar
$ cd bar
$ icacls .
. hostname\username:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

$ touch foo
$ ls -la
total 0
drwx------+ 1 username 213 0 Jan 28 15:14 .
drwx------+ 1 username 213 0 Jan 28 15:14 ..
-rwx------  1 username 213 0 Jan 28 15:14 foo

$ icacls foo
foo hostname\username:(I)(F)
