[ale] Specify permissions, owner, and group of newly created files

[rick at rhuebner.com (Rick Huebner)]

I've always wondered how to make new files created in a directory be created
with a specific permission, owner, and group.  Right now, I have a series of
cron jobs that run to change the permissions in several directories each
hour.  Is there any way on a per directory basis to do this?
