if you want to do something different for regular users as opposed
to root, there's a good example of how to do that in the current
RH 9 /etc/profile file:
----------------
if [ `id -u` = 0 ]; then
pathmunge /sbin
pathmunge /usr/sbin
pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
fi
----------------
this test is checking if the invoker is root, and doing something
appropriate. if it wasn't root, you could do something else.
an easier solution would be to just flat out set the umask to 002, and
in root's *personal* .bashrc, set it to 022 to override that value.
that's a much more straightforward solution.

p.s. for a zillion really handy scripts, i strongly recommend
cameron simpson's script archive:

lots's of neat ideas for time-saving utilities.
