  There's really not any way around it.  Having it set to 777 is just how
windows handles files, and really has nothing to do with AFS.  Like if you have
a partition shared between windows and linux, the files that you write in
windows are all 777.  Besides, in AFS, a most of the unix permissions don't
have any meaning(with the exception of the x bit, and the user bits. :^}
