pam_umask — PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DESCRIPTION
pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask of the current
environment. The umask affects the default permissions assigned to newly
created files.
The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the
following order:
● umask= argument
● umask= entry of the users GECOS field
● pri= entry of the users GECOS field
● ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field
● UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
● UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
silent
Don't print informative messages.
usergroups
If the user is not root, and the user ID is equal to the group ID, and the
username is the same as primary group name, the umask group bits are set to
be the same as owner bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).
umask=mask
Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777.
The value is interpreted as Octal.
EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific umask at
login:
session optional pam_umask.so umask=0022
