Default permissions for creating a new user

[Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know this is a Linux 101 question, however I am unable to 
locate the answer in my O'Reilly Linux book: how to set the 
default for permissions when creating a new user.  The default 
for the GUI in my newly installed Centos 5.5 is 700.  I usually 
use 774.

And when root creates a new directory, is there a way to have a 
default there too?

Lastly, if root or someone with root privileges creates a 
sub-directory, is there a setting so that the sub-directory will 
have the owner/group and permissions as the parent directory?
