[cs631apue] HW2 permissions question

To me it seems like "least surprise" would mean that the copied file keeps
the permissions of the original when possible - however, after copying a few
files with the cp program, it looks like it does not always do this. Is it
sufficient to have our tcp program copy the permissions of the original
file?
