Actually, libpam-modules are installed by default and this new pam_umask.so should be enabled in common-session by default (Bug #253096).
pam_umask now recovers the umask functionality that login once had for pam systems. (see man pam_umask) It gets the users umask from several places. That means UMASK may be uncommented in login.defs or point to /etc/default/login if it is introduced (linux stardard base?). /etc/profile should then be commented, not contain umask settings anymore, and point to "man pam_umask" or /etc/default/login or /etc/default/login respectively. -- login.defs references libpam-umask which is a obsolete package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
