drhyde d93f4db794 Example scripts now set a suitably paranoid umask so that files can't
be read by unauthorised users while they are being written.  Thanks to
Lee Jensen for pointing out the problem.

#
# This is a simple shell script to backup a PostgreSQL database with rsnapshot.
#
# The assumption is that this will be invoked from rsnapshot. Also, since it
# will run unattended, the user that runs rsnapshot (probably root) should have
# a .pgpass file in their home directory that contains the password for the
# postgres user. For example:
#
# /root/.pgpass (chmod 0600)
# *:*:*:postgres:thepassword
#
# This script simply needs to dump a file into the current working directory.
# rsnapshot handles everything else.
