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.
</p><p>
The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the
following places in the following order:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
umask= argument
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
umask= entry in the user's GECOS field
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
The GECOS field is split on comma ',' characters. The module
also in addition to the umask= entry recognizes pri= entry,
which sets the nice priority value for the session, and
ulimit= entry, which sets the maximum size of files the processes
in the session can create.
