Have them set the proper UMASK in their .profile file. man umask umask -- Set or return the file mode creation mask Format umask [-S] [mode] tcsh shell: umask [value] Description umask sets the file-creation permission-code mask of the invoking process to the given mode. You can specify the mode in any of the formats recognized by chmod; see chmod for more information.
