Then you have a misconfigured system where security might be compromised. If it's intentional, you should also change the system umask, be it using pam_umask, /etc/profile or whatever mechanism you wish. | Why should you? Well someone simply might not want to use UPG?

Yes, out of the box, each user has their private group and the umask is 0002, making it a UPG-based system. That does not mean you can't configure it otherwise of course. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
