Paul, you seemed to indicate that you were able to set a different "user default" umask in Stretch that's respected by gnome apps like gedit? How did you do it? On 2017-06-28 09:21, Paul Wise wrote: On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 7:25 PM, Ian Jackson wrote: The appropriate default umask is 002 if

You didn't notice because you run umask from your shell configuration? In other words, you have a working umask in Stretch? I want a working umask in stretch. Can you tell me how to "run `umask 027` from my shell configuration"? Currently, I have not found a way to get gnome to respect umask

I'd like to know why giving the world (Other) read access is even under consideration. If user wants a file to have Other readability this should be on the user to set it, but it should not be the default. What is the justification that every user be able to read every other user's documents?
