I have set /etc/login.defs to a umask of 077. Also, I commented out the USERGROUPS_ENAB entry.
When I create gedit documents (for example), I am getting rw-r--r--. This does not reflect umask 077. I then went to ~/.profile and set umask there. But this had no effect on anything. Please advise on where "/etc/profile.local" is. I can find no such entry. > Is your question based on the documentation contained within /etc/profile and /etc/login.defs? I don't think "systemd" changed anything, while pam may have. I still reconfigure globally using /etc/profile.local. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Felix Miata" <mrma...@earthlink.net> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Monday, August 7, 2017 12:50:35 AM Subject: Re: How to change default umask in Stretch?
