I assume you are running at root since it's OS X. From 4D you need to run a shell script that uses the umask command to set the default file/folder permissions you want for the 4D process. See the man pages for umask for details, or there are lots of online descriptions of the command.
That's right, as root. This looks like a good solution and something that I had assumed would be in there somewhere, but we're not running on OS X Server, rather a standard G4. From a Google search, it looks as though cron may be the better answer, where the command is fired by a script when 4D creates the new folder? If this is similar to using something like an AppleScript, isn't this a bit of a bodge?
