I could change the acl recursively on current files in a directory, but I
could not set up a default acl which would apply to all files
that would be created in the folder in the future.
setfacl, getfacl and chacl are the commands.

Unless I am using "umask" incorrectly, it seems to change the default file permissions for the user and not the directory.
su - user1 umask 007 touch testfile
creates testfile with the permissions "rw-rw----" no matter where user1 creates the file.
You are using umask correctly. As you probably know umask is a property of the process and not of a directory.
I want the action limited to a directory.
I do have acl installed on my system. I am looking for documentation.
Good luck! You might find something in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation.

I should have stated that I am using RedHat 9, upgraded to 2.4.20-24.9.
I believe I am looking for the file permissions that one can use on Novell systems or the ACL capabilities that VMS has.
