Tim, briefly, don't do that. This (mentioned umask in profile)
should be classified as bad practice. What is your primarily
goal? What is the users scenario?
Take a look into ACL (rpm package acl):
$ man setfacl
$ man getfacl
There exist a "default" setting to inherit such settings (e.g. write operations for groups).
