Change Data Capture File/Directory Permissions

iidraccess-11.4-10014-linux-x86-setup.bin
setup-iidr-11.4.0.0-5001-linux-x86.bin

do not properly define directory or file permissions and/or reflect too extensive permissions.

At JPMC files/directories will not pass security scans with permissions of 777. Use of 1777 would be preferred or 755 for directories, 755 for executable files and 644 for other non-executable files.

Attempted prior to installation to define using umask setting but installation doesn't honor the value and overrides are performed within the installation package.

Replication agent permissions seem to be too restrictive where access server is the opposite.
