How do I achive the default umask inhereted from the parent directory? I
read some suggestions from google to adjust the global default umask, but
I think it's a bit risky, or is it the only way?

Phil answered your question how to enable the RH behavior by
setting the umask globally.

If you don't want to do this, there is the possibility to use
access control lists (ACLs); the default ACL determines the access
right of newly created files.

I don't know if the global umask setting is sufficient for you, so
I stop here with the explanation; ask, if you need more info.

But note: both methods don't support changing the access rights of
files that are created elsewhere, e.g., in a personal directory,
and moved to the shared directory. (That's because moving doesn't
create a file, it just changes the directory entry. (Reality is
even more complex, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.))

Hi,

perhaps I don't understand your problem, but could you not just put

umask 002 (or whatever you desire) into

.bashrc in the /home/geecko directory?
