Public bug reported:
As reported in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/private-home-directories-
for-ubuntu-21-04-onwards/19533/13:
A common situation is to have a central set of users (e.g. in LDAP) and
use pam_mkhomedir.so to create the home directory when the user first
logs in.
These changes do not cover this situation. The default configuration of
pam_mkhomedir.so will result in a home directory created with 0755
permissions.
To make pam_mkhomedir.so create a home directory by default with
permissions consistent with the other tools then a umask argument can be
added to the pam_mkhomedir.so module in the file /usr/share/pam-
configs/mkhomedir. I believe this would have to be done before enabling
the module. The file is part of the libpam-modules package.
