How to set defaul UMASK 037

All.

I want to set a default UMASK 037 for all users. How and where do I need to do this? I want the default permissions of objects created to be -rwxr-----.

Thanks in advance,

SB

Edit your /etc/profile and add the following line

umask 037

I think that should do it.

Regards,
Bryan
