Hi All, Stumbled across this while working today and thought others might find it useful.
As we all know UMASK controls the permissions that get applied to files and folders when they are created. On the Mac/Darwin side this is also true but Apple has sorta extended it to deal with people launching gui applications. So there is a gui app UMASK setting and a system default setting, if you launch a terminal window then of course you have a third area that could have another seperate UMASK setting. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202 Anywho thought I would pass this along. - Brian
