OSX: HOW TO CHANGE THE GLOBAL UMASK FOR ALL USERS TO 002
--------------------------------------------------------


Hi

This is what works for my set up.

1. For group read-write perms, in the Finder. Use Terminal to setglobally (all users/same box):


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

2. And, in Terminal, to set this for apps launched from the Bash shell:

Put "umask 002" in /etc/profile (with no quotation marks)

:)
