this can really hose things. you'll notice that several files in /var/run are now mod'd to the umask perms when they are changed. a umask of 0077 hosed utmp and resolv.conf here, which broke uptime, who, and dig/nslookup.

and aqua apps did not mode to umask 0077

Is there a way to set the umask on files and folders created by the user to everyone = rwx and not muck up the system files and folders? I am looking for a way to do this. All my users share files all the time over a OS X server box on the network. As it stands now after they cerate a file and save it to the network into a everyone = rwx folder the file does not inherit the proper permissions and no one else can modify the file. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
