My mistake -- I've never actually used umask, but that makes perfect sense.

This actually was my problem -- how do I set the umask for a specific 
folder, or is it system wide?  Also, where do I set the umask so that 
all users get 022?  Does it matter what their login shell is?  (My users 
are all bash users I think)

Needless to say, I'm not a umask expert. :)

Thanks agian,
