[wplug] umask

I am trying to install Courier-IMAP and it says "set your umask to 022
before running make install or make install-strip".

Now being that I am still new to Linux, I am not familiar with this.  The
will change the permissions, right?  If I am running as root, why would I
need to do this?  

 

Thanks,
