creating directories on the same box

I have two login accounts 'fup04a' and 'fup04c' on the same unix box
after log in using 'fup04a' and if I try creating a directory 'new'

drwxrwxr-x 2 fup04a fup04a 4096 Nov 14 14:06 new

but if i try the same with fup04c

drw-rw-r-x 2 fup04c fup04c 4096 Nov 14 14:05 new

Now please see the permissions for both the directories, why is that the second one not having proper permissions?

Where should i make the changes so that a new directory created using login account 'fup04c' has the permissions - rwxrwxr-x

Please help me. Thanks

check-permissions(1M)					  System Administration Commands				     check-permissions(1M)

NAME
check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-permissions [login] DESCRIPTION
The check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for sendmail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for all configured alias files, and checks the alias files for :include: files. It also checks for certain .forward files. For each file that check-permis- sions checks, it verifies that none of the parent directories are group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive, it is reported. Otherwise it reports that no unsafe directories were found. As to which .forward files are checked, it depends on the arguments included on the command line. If no argument is given, the current user's home directory is checked for the presence of a .forward file. If any arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and the home directory of each one is checked. If the special argument ALL is given, the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is checked, and all password entries that can be obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this can be time-consuming. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: login Where login is a valid user name, checks the home directory for login. ALL Checks the home directory of all users. FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf Defines environment for sendmail /etc/mail/aliases Ascii mail aliases file ATTRIBUTES
