I have a nfs file share between an aix 4.3.3 server and a linux server
running redhat 7.3. I have a directory on the aix server mapped to
the linux server. When ever I create a file in the mapped directory
its default permissions are -rw-r--r--. I need the default
permissions to be -rwxrwxrwx.

Below is the entry I put in my /etc/exports file on the linux box

/home/sms/hostdemo 192.168.xx.x(rw,insecure,all_squash)

Below is the entry in the /etc/filesystems file on the aix box

/usr/recital/hostdemo:
dev = "/home/sms/hostdemo"
vfs = nfs
nodename = 192.168.xx.x
mount = true
options = bg,soft,intr
account = false
vers = 2
type = remote

By setting the umask of the user who creates the file to 0000, you can
achieve permissions 0666 for newly created files and 0777 for directories.

I think there is no way to force files to mode 0777.

Correct. The execute bit must be explicitly set, and only
applies to executable files (i.e. scripts or programs).

One wonders as to the desired goal.

I have a demo database that is used for training and has grown larger
then I have room for on the aix server. The database uses a system
account to modify and create tables in the database. How do I set the
umask for a system account if their is no .profile to modify.

To keep data from being executable unless otherwise specified.
