Mac OS 10.5.8, intel based Mac Pro
When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R. There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R. How do you change the default saving permissions? I want it always to be RW RW W.

Check the folder above it for permissions, in this case it seems that User's Desktop folder.

I've done that. I changed the /User folder and the Desktop folder under that. then aI created a new folder called test and set all the permissions to RW_RW_R__. Then I used word to create a new file and the permissions defaulted to RW_R__R__ . This was on the non-intel Mac with 10.5.8.
I found it!

you need to create /etc/launchd-user.conf at noted in the URl above with umask 022 in it.
BDAqua - Thanks for the reply. After I created the file and logged out/ back in, I had to change the permissions on the folder also.
Great work, great find, thanks for the report! 🙂
One note - I had to restart in order for launchd-user.conf to take affect.
