Richard,
I would look into Dreamweaver configuration again. There could be an upload umask setting in it that is set (to 022?) and it is overriding the umask setting on your server.

We have two Solaris 9 servers in our shop: a development server, on which all our developers develop and test code (or, at least, on which they're *supposed* to), and a production server.
All of our developers belong to a group called "webdev". For all files that the users create and work on in the development environment, the default permissions are 775, meaning that any member of the webdev group can access and work on any files belonging to any other member of the webdev group. In each user's bash.profile file, I have set umask to 002, so that permissions are set properly on all new files.
The trouble comes when the developers FTP their development files up to the production server. I would like to have the permissions on files uploaded to the production server set to 775 by default, but that is not happening; instead, permissions are set to 755. If a developer ever needs to overwrite files uploaded by another developer, I have to manually change the permissions on the old files to 775 to allow it to happen.
I don't understand why this is happening. The directory permissions are all proper. umask is set to 002 for every developer, just as on our development server.
We're using DreamWeaver to maintain our .html and .cfm files; I've considered the possibility that the FTP client in DreamWeaver actually changes the default permissions on files as they're uploaded to the production server, but that doesn't really make sense to me. I think that there might be a setting in the ftp server configuration on the production server that is botching things up, but looking through ftpaccess, I can't find anything that seems relevant, and the ftpd documentation doesn't cover anything specific to my problem.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
