You can add a umask command in your .profile command. .profile and /etc/profile don't run until you login again. If you su to a new user, you will still be using your own environment unless you specify a login shell.
su -l <user>

Somewhat related. Here is a segment of my systems /etc/profile script:
Code:
#
# The user file-creation mask
#
# The global umask value is stored in /etc/login.defs and
# will be set by pam_umask.so (see "man pam_umask").
#umask 022

The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the following order:
- umask= argument
- umask= entry of the users GECOS field
- pri= entry of the users GECOS field
- ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field
- UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
- UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs

So you might want to do some reading in your systems /etc/profile file & man pam_umask to see if there are differences.
