Assignment of Default File Permissions to User Groups

A new class of configuration entries permits default file permissions to be assigned to one or more groups including two special groups: WORLD and OWNER. The primary need for this capability is to enforce permission flags on files that have already been created without a permission mask (i.e., the permission mask is zero at file create). A zero permission mask is equivalent to granting everyone all rights:

OPF_ALL | GPF_ALL | WPF_ALL

Note: ALL does not include the special NOPASS flag that permits a file to be opened for reading without supplying the file password. To grant NOPASS permission, it must be included explicitly.
