I've struggled with this a bit myself but I think I found a way to do it or two ways depending on what you are trying to achieve. You will find a way of setting the default login umask in /etc/login.defs in addition you can create top line home directories after doing $ umask 002 This should ensure that all sub-directories and files are created with the correct permissions For existing directories: $ chmod -R 775 should do the trick However, I'm no expert and others may give you better advice - I'd be interested to know if there's a better way of doing this.
