Package: zsh
Version: 4.2.5-10
Severity: important
Hi,
I just did a fresh installation and dist-upgrade to sid, switched to
zsh as login shell for root and myself, and the default umask has
changed. It used to be 022 and is now 077.
I think the relevant change is in the default login configuration, at
least this is all I could think of:
shadow (1:4.0.3-36) unstable; urgency=low
* Debian packaging fixes:
- debian/login.defs:
- Comment the UMASK setting which is more confusing than useful
as it only affects console logins. Better use pam_umask instead
Closes: #314539, #248150
Using such an umask causes problems, and bash ships with an
/etc/skel/.bashrc which sets the umask to 022.
I'm well aware that it might not be a zsh bug, still the fact is that
switching from the default shell to zsh can bring you into serious
trouble, so I'm filing this here for now so you can decide to set the
umask in /etc/skel/.zshrc.
If you think this is a shadow or bash issue, please reassign or clone
accordingly.
Bye,
