At this point, guys, your discussion still leads me to the conclusion that having UMASK in the *default* login.defs may induce more confusion than benefits. As we seem to agree that the right direction is encouraging the use of pam_umask, I tend to prefer keeping the UMASK setting commented (sse debian/login.defs in trunk/) with a wide comment about the issue. Alex, please review what's currently in the trunk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
