hi there,

i have my imap server up and running and everything seems fine.
apart from if a client creates a new folder using mozilla or outlook,
the permissions get set as :-

drwx------    6 omweb    web          4096 May 19 18:34 .thunderbird
 
whereas really i want it to be 775 like this :-
 
drwxrwxr-x    6 omweb    web          4096 May 19 18:34 .thunderbird


(otherwise other applications wont be able to read this folder).

so i looked in the archive list of messages at 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=6705
and there was a similar question and the answer was :-

check your umask settings

so i checked mine and they are 0022 , which means new files will be mode 775 which is 
what
i want. but the new directories are still being created as 700.

these new directories reside on a nfs server which is mounted onto my imap server.
and each user has his own entry in the /etc/userdb file.

so how do i set the umask correctly?

thanks for any help 

oliver
