Public bug reported:
/etc/profile says:
# The default umask is now handled by pam_umask.
# See pam_umask(8) and /etc/login.defs.
The above can be shortened, as pam_umask(8) refers to /etc/login.defs.
This also avoids the reader inferring (as I did) that /etc/login.defs is
independent of pam_umask, an inference which though erroneous is
supported by the fact that the umask stanza in /etc/login.defs does not
mention pam_umask.
I suggest rewriting the lines above as:
# The default umask is handled by pam_umask.
# See pam_umask(8).
