File permissions issue

Hi,

We have a apps database running on HP-UX 11.11. Yesterday, we had a problem with the server which was resolved after rebooting the server. Now the problem I am facing is that now the files created by application manager user has weird file permissions. Like instead of rw-r-r it is creating the files with rw only. I know it cannot be with the server problem.

Can you please suggest like what is the best umask to define in .profile and other things to resolve this error.

Please advise,
TIA

A umask of 022 is quite fine. It is safe (no world/group write) and yet not too restrictive.
