The umask tells the file system which bits to NOT set when th user
creates a file. I believe the default is 777, OR the permissions of the
parent directory. Then the umask is applied. The umask is usually set in
the users .profile, but can be globally set in the /etc/profile depending on
the flavor of UNIX.
Try "man chmod" and play. I've just taken a look and modes 4000 and 2000
look promising although they're not quite what I thought. They'll force
owner (and maybe group) to be what you want. It might not work for
dynamic files, though :-(
Cheers,
Wol
