** Description changed: + The pam_umask.so module determines the umask (from system and user + config files) and sets it for users accordingly. - pam_umask.so determines the umask (from system and user config files (see man page)) and sets it accordingly. + The umask itself should not be set in /etc/pam.d/common-account, but + pam_umask needs to be called from there. The system's default UMASK is + set in /etc/login.defs, and setting it here would override it and all + user specific configs (see man pam_umask). - The umask should not be set in common-session because it would override - all user specific configs, but the option usergroups is neccessary to - let it check if ubuntus private user groups are in effect to ease user - collaboration (Info on Bug #252351). + The option "usergroups" is neccessary to have pam_umask check if the + user has a private user group and re-enables appropriate group + permission setting for save and easy user collaboration (Info in Bug + #252351). - The line that is needed in common-session is: + The line needed to call pam_umask in /etc/pam.d/common-account is: session optional pam_umask.so usergroups - (This just reflects the settings that are in /etc/login.defs but have - not been working since the switch to pam.) + (This reflects the settings that are in /etc/login.defs, but have not + been working since pam broke it.)
