As far as I understand, that's a PR against pam setting umask.to 002 on login, 022 for root. Especially the bug reports referenced there bring me directly and deeply into Debian-Ubuntu politics which is a significant drain for me. >According to the history of that patch, we have some old consensus to >move toward usergroups and a default umask of 0002 (except for root >which gets 0022). > >I was trusting the analysis in that merge request and assuming we >actually did have such a consensus. I am not aware of that. If we have consensus, then all the better. >But I'd ask you to look into the history of usergroups in Debian as part >of your decision process. Where would I read up on that? I am not deeply enough in those political things to be able to judge whether a discussion from 15 years ago is still valid today. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
