2 reasons.
first: By default a file is never created with the executable bit set,
but directories are.
Thus, a umask of 022 will create directories with 755 but files with 644
permissions.
Second: The settings in /etc/bashrc are overridden by later settings.
I suspect that you may have a umask of 002 set in ~/.bashrc or
~/.bash_profile
To find out what your umask currently is use the command "umask". Mine
gives
[jeff@goliath ~]$ umask
0002
Also, in my /etc/bashrc I see this related to the umask
--------------------------
if [ "`id -gn`" = "`id -un`" -a `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
umask 002
else
umask 022
fi
--------------------------------------------
Which says if your uid == gid and your id is >99 then use 002, otherwise
use 022. That explains mine. (uid=500, gid=500).
