the way I implement a default umask setting is to put it in /etc/profile.

as for custom user .profiles, you can edit /etc/skel/.profile to your liking. any new users you create will get this .profile. You could put the umask there, but I would suggest not to.

If you use SAM to set up users, then there is a default .profile that each user will get. It is located at /etc/skel/.profile

If you modify this .profile to your liking then every user that is created will have that copied into their home directory.

the execution sequence is /etc/profile and then .profile(user's profile)
(for ksh/bash/sh)

Now you define umask in /etc/profile, then that can be overridden in .profile.

You can put umask in .profile,but put the owner of .profile to root,group root.

This way a user can not modify your seetings in .profile.

But note that a unix litrate user can modify it at command prompt.
