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 Joachim,
Do you know where I can set the umask globally in Suse?

However, I don't think setting up the umask globally would be "as safe as" in
RH, because Suse doesn't use the concept of UPG (user private group). So, if
I set the umask globally, then it means every user can access those files and
directory in the "test" directory.

You mean ACL as in "extended ACL" from setfacl?

I think I can try "create" the UPG situation like in RH, but it means I have
to "remove" all related users from the 'user' group. Not practical.

Or, after some browsing on /etc/apparmor directory, I think it's possible to
set the umask for the 'test' directory and files.

I'm not sure.
