No, I was thinking more along the lines of inheriting permissions on new
files from the directory they are in, i.e.

umask 22
mkdir inherit && chmod 5700 inherit (let's pretend 5 is my inherit mode)
cd inherit && touch test

The end result would be that test would be created 0600 (or maybe 0700
but that's not very handy).

Does that make sense?  Is it possible?

Thanks,
