Jon,

     I did a similar thing on 4.2 BSD.  I made three changes.  The first
two changes were to the default umask values in 'sh' and 'csh'.  The
third change was to the kernel, affecting all files created by creat()
where the protection was not specified.  This value is somewhere in
/sys/sys, I believe.  Look for a definie for UMASK.  (I made this change
some five months ago, so the details are fuzzy.  I can check at work
tomorrow.)
