Global umask consistency is usually better
The main reason umask is manipulated is for setting the file sharing/protection policy for all users of the system. Under the portable unix file permissions scheme, there are three tiers: all users, users with the same group id, and users with the same uid. All x (searchable/executable) and r (read) permissions usually default to wide open (mask 0), with certain private directories having the "a" x & r bits turned off specifically.
But how?
I am facing exactly the problem that you describe - wanting multiple users to be able to access the same files. It seems that my Tiger install has the "group for each user" style going... what is the best way to set this up so that it works? I know my way around chmod, but doing that for each file every time seems, errr, un-maccish!
But how?
