Package: gdm Hello, in contrast to slim, kdm, or startx, gdm breaks the central umask configuration. This is in debian stable (squeeze).
GDM sets the default umask to an explicit value (0022), however, it should leave it as set by the system's default settings. (The default umask is set with pam_umask according to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktopHowTo) Executed in an xterm called directly from ~/.xsession ~$ umask 0022 while a text console gives a correct: ~$ umask 0002 (as set by pam_umask.so usergroups) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
