There's something closely related happening in actual ubuntu 17.10 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1701757 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1685754
It makes managing muti-users machines and shared folders almost impossible… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241198 Title: gdm doesn't respect umask setting Status in gdm: Expired Status in gdm package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello at first I wanted to add this bug to existing one: #25910 gdm doesn't take care of pam_umask settings but in my case I don;t use pam_umask. What I need is to let users create files/folders with extended permissions - different than 022 which I think is again hardcoded in gnome. I tried to change umask in ~/.profile and ~/.gnomerc as well as /etc/X11/Xsessions.d/55gnomexxxx - nothing works :( This is huge problem for me as most of volumes are mounted via NFS to share amongst many users. But when user creates file/folder all I can see is : 755 for folders which is not acceptable. Can you confirm this bug or I;m missing something? My Ubuntu is Hardy 8.04 with all updates.
