I'm very green so you'll have to speak slowly. We are using Samba to 
talk to our Windoze machines. How does this relate to umask?

So umask controls the permissions assigned to new files as they are 
create right? How do I set umask in /etc/bashrc? Is it just like 
editing a text file?

If I want the permissions assigned to new files to be 770 then I should 
set the mask to 007 right?
