When I create a new file or folder under OS X, it seems that the following permissions are establised by default:

Owner: read and write
Group: read only
Others: read only

Can I alter this behaviour so that Group is 'read and write'. Reason:

I have a shared disk at my office which various users access. They can all see into the folder, but despite being members of the same group (set up under OS X Server), only the person who created the file/folder can work on it. Currently I am having to change the permissions manually (using BatChMod) so that everyone can work on the file.

This seems a naive question, but perhaps someone can help.

Cheers,

Phil

Adding umask 002 in users'config file would do the trick for all terminal commands, but I'm not sure how to make this affect the finder behaviour... Maybe try to add this in /etc/rc.boot ?
