nano's default permissions for files?

how do you change the file permissions that nano sets to new files? right now it sets them 600 when i want it 644 for a certain user.

Thanks in advance.

That's controlled by umask, but remember that it's backwards compared to chmod (7 - chmod value).

touching makes files with permissions corrcet, but nano still makes files 600 by default...

That's strange, on my system nano uses the permissions as set by umask. Maybe you should file a bug report
