na..na...

i think once you set "umask" in any of your startup script, that will be
applied to files and directories both.b,coz that will affect the default
FAP value for files and directories, for priviledged users as well as
non-priviledged user.

now if i want to set "umask (user mask)" value for only and only files
OR only and only for directories, can i ? this my question.
