When you say users that are in their own group.  You mean I have an
account of travis, my group is also travis?

We don't use that here.  Would something like this work in it's place?

------------------------------------------------
if [ `id -u` -gt 99 ]; then
        umask 022
else
        umask 002
Fi
------------------------------------------------

So if my uid is not greater than 99 I get 022, otherwise I get 002?

Thanks,
Travis
