How we do it globally
Authored by: matx on Jan 11, '06 03:49:04PM

On every machine to affect The Finder umask, type this in Terminal:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences NSUmask 2

(use ARD v.2 for lots of machines)

And if you want files created in Terminal affected, put "umask 002" in
/etc/profile (with no quotation marks).
