You can put the value in /etc/profile (POSIX shell users)

OR find out the global profile file for users and set it there

This should be done as soon as your system is installed. The only (best) place to have it is in /etc/profile like this:

# Set umask
umask 022

/etc/profile will do the job

At least for Posix users.

The effect however is as if it was put in all the .profile files.

Now some users won't react well to the change. files will get messed up when created, things like that.

For those specific instances override the umask in the .profile file.

Hi
You can edit /etc/profile but this is for posix shell users
