Set umask for process running root user

Hey Guys,

I am trying to set the umask for a process(orkaudio) which is running as the root user. This program creates dir and files and I need the umask to be 022. I have edited my /etc/bashrc -- and when i type in umask i get 0022 --- Not sure how to go about getting this resolved...

any help would be greatly appreciated....

For all practical intents and purposes the result should
be the same, unless your program is trying to do "sticky" things.

As for actually changing it - have a look at /etc/profile

Cheers,
