Change another user's umask on macosx

Question

How can I change another user's umask on Mac OS X? This question only has answers that work on Linux.

Answer 1

Not a mac user here but I noted it a while back, while helping a family friend.

you can set the umask by putting a line like this:

umask 022 

into one of these:

~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login   (if .bash_profile does not exist)
~/.profile      (if .bash_login does not exist)

also, if you have it, ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is another place you can put the line in
