Actually, it's in /etc/login.defs but read the note in there as thi file is
ONLY read for sessions started with "login" and wont be picked up
xdm/kdm/gdm/ssh etc. However, ssh/rsh etc will be set via profile or shell
configuration (assuming you set a umask somewhere in there). If you need
universal UMASK regardless of the login method or shell, have a look at the
"libpam-umask" package.
Cheers,
James
