Setting global umask

Hi folks, my apologies if this is off-topic...

I need to set the global umask to something other than "022" to get custom default permissions for files created by applications and the Finder.

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/SystemOverview/BootingLogin/The_Login_Procedure.html
says that loginwindow, as the last step, "Obtains the file-creation permissions mask (umask) from the user's preferences and sets it".

I've been unable to find the location for the default umask anywhere in "the user's preferences". A search on Google and in the ADC docs also failed. Any hints?

TIA,
