Daemon umask

Is it possible to set the umask to a value (in this case 27) at boot time
so that all daemon processes started at boot time will have this umask by
default (unless they override it)?

In Redhat this is done in the /etc/sysconfig/init file, umask parameter,
which is not present in Debian.

You can adjust /etc/login.defs, you can edit /etc/profile (via adding a
sh file to /etc/profile.d) and check for the user and set it's umask, or
you can create a common home folder for all your daemons and add it to
.profile. Or you can go and edit each daemons init file.
