If you want to set the umask for all users, you must make sure the umask setting is
entered in the configuration
file /etc/profile.local. The configuration file /etc/profile is a generic configuration file
that is processed by all users logging in to the system. Since, however, YaST doesn’t like
modifications
to be made directly to this file, you must make all modifications you want to apply in
/etc/
profile.local. If the umask is changed in this file, it applies to all users logging in to your
server.
