10.3: Set the global umask default value
Hmmm. There have been some very interesting solutions suggested for this problem. I quite like the default permissions... except for files in the Public folder. So I opted for a root cron job.
I added the following job to the system (root) crontab file (/etc/crontab)
# Make files in Public folders read/write for all
Note: Each extended space (ie up to 'root') in the line above is actually a tab.What does this do? Every minute, on the minute, this system (root) cron job makes all files and directories in users Public folder read/write by all (User, Group and Others). The crontab file can easily be distributed company-wide using Apple Remote Desktop software (a very useful product indeed). This problem is really frustrating for users in a peer-to-peer workgroup. I think Apple should provide a few permission options/settings for the Public folder. ---
10.3: Set the global umask default value
I have a similar thing set up to allow shared R&W access to am iTunes library, and I have a sneaking suspicion that chmod barfs when more than about 2000 files are being processed.

You need to escape the ; in bash, use {} \; at the end of your line, that will work. |
