There are two of us here who work on one code directory, and in order for  
both of us to be able to read/write the files in this directory, I created  
a group called 'seqprog', and we both had umasks set to group read/write.

Under 2.x it worked.  Now it doesn't.  It seems that Edit and IB ignore  
both the umask in the defaults database and in .cshrc.  

Related, but worse yet, project builder won't let anyone but the owner  
recompile the app-wrapper package, even if group read/write are set.  It  
complains about permission being denied for copying over the .nib  
directories in the app wrapper, for which I have made that all the files  
involved have group and user read/write (I even tried this with world  
read/writeable, recursively, on the entire directory, and still the same  
problem).  The ONLY way one of us can recompile after the other one has is  
to change the ownership of all files in the app wrapper to be owned by the  
person attempting to compile.

Anyone had the same experience or have any hints?

thanks,
