The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/libpq-ssl.html
Description:
The instruction to use "chmod og-rwx" could leave the file with read
permission set. Elsewhere the suggestion is "chmod 600".

Not sure what you mean here -- how could it leave it with read permission
set?
(Obviously it could for the owner, but 0600 also includes read permissions
for the owner)
That said, it might be a good idea to be consistent since we seem to use a
mix of different styles of chmod.

Sorry. Execute permission for owner may have been on prior to chmod og-rwx . I thought that might be a problem and 600 eliminates that

It seems highly unlikely that openssl would write the file with x
permission turned on. Even if it did, there's no particular
reason for us to insist on changing it.

There is that. But I think the "og-rwx" style is more recommendable,
if we're going to try to standardize.
