Subject: Mac OSX Server


Setting up a Macintosh OSX Server - I wanted to set up the shared folder so
that people could share files but the files and folders are created with
settings of 644 and 755 respectively, meaning that the 'groups' haven't any
write access. This isn't good - obviously the remote users have a umask of
022 and I really need them to have a umask of 002

I have tried some Q&D things that didn't work...

tried adding umask 002 to the end of /etc/rc.common and /etc/profile but
after logging off and then logging back on, it didn't make a difference. I
am not knowledgable at all about FreeBSD and I'm thinking that Apple gets
the user info from 'NetInfo' - as it is clear that the users that I have
added didn't make it into /etc/passwd

Anyone have any idea how to make the change so that files/folders saved by
users into the 'Shared' directory have a umask of 002 ?

Thanks,

Craig
