[LinuxUsers] Setting UMASK in Mac OS X

[Brian Friday]

Hi All,

Stumbled across this while working today and thought others might find
it useful.

As we all know UMASK controls the permissions that get applied to
files and folders when they are created. On the Mac/Darwin side this
is also true but Apple has sorta extended it to deal with people
launching gui applications. So there is a gui app UMASK setting and a
system default setting, if you launch a terminal window then of course
you have a third area that could have another seperate UMASK setting.

Anywho thought I would pass this along.
