Each user should have the umask set to the permission bits that are to be masked.

If you want the files to be created with 644 permissions, set umask to 022 by making the following entry in the startup file:
umask 022

YOu can put this into the /.profile file, but remember that the user can override this by setting umask in his own $HOME/.profile.

The 'umask' setting should be done in /etc/profile

umask 122
