Redhat: default user permissions? 1

[MorganGreylock]

On some other system a while back, I remember using a tool or menu that would let me configure the default permissions for a particular user. That is, whenever that user creates a file or folder, it will use these permissions by default.

Is there a way in Redhat to set or change these default permissions? We're having an issue here, and the easiest and best way to do it for us is to modify these settings.

I basically want to change it from 755 to 775 for a particular user.
Thanks in advance,
MG

do think that the newuser gui has a place to set that.

But the command is umask.
There are default settings in /etc.

but you can just override it in the .profile or .bash_profile.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. A star for you!
