Managers !

Because I've recieved 2 "I-have_the_same_problem" mails I will summarize without
a solution. All the answers were dealing with umask. Eric mentioned a "global"
umask, but honestly I found nothing appropriate.
I found 3 condition of dtpad.
1) Starting from a commandtool the permissions of a saved file are rw-r--r--
(umask)
2) Starting from "Worspace Menu" the permission are rw-------
3) Saveing a file from dtpad when the dtpad starts automatically at login (Home
session) the permissions are rw-rw-rw-

This is no a minor problem. The files are created from students and should be
viewed by tutors.
