SUMMARY: File permissions under a particular directory

Well, I guess it was a pretty simple question, because a got a quick anwser 
and it works!

A particular thanks to Ed Rolison for his anwser:
-----------------------------------------------------
setfacl works. You can use
setfacl -m 
default:user::rwx,default:group::rwx,default:other:rwx,default:mask:rwx 
<directory>
and this will override the umask when creating files.
You can even add 'specific' acl entries for specific users/groups.
Check the manpage for more info.
-----------------------------------------------------

Thanks!  Here's my original question:
