I am having problems with umask. I want permission automatically set for 
group write access, read only access for others. So I changed to root 
and did
#umask 0002  
When I login as another user and try to create a directory it denies me. 
When i do umask for that user it tells me 0022.
I thought that changing umask while in a directory changes the umask for 
the directory, or is it a per user setting. If so, how do I change all 
users umask to 0002? Or do I have to specify which directory to set the 
umask for?
