SUN TO AIX (UMASK)
I can't seem to get the umask command to work the same way in AIX that is worked in SUN. Can somebody tell me if I have to do something else.

I'm using a userid to login. In that userid's profile. I add the umask command umask 003. I would like all files created by this ID to have permissions of rwxrwxr
