Curious, if umask isn't specified explicitly, what is it? For UID 1-99, what we're discussing here, what would happen for their umask value? Will it be 0022? 0000? Something else? Also, if the system users aren't processing a login shell, then why isn't their default login shell /usr/bin/nologin or /bin/false? Should a wishlist bug be submitted against this? -- . O . O . O . .
