Package: xfree86-common Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 Severity: normal In /etc/login.defs I set umask to 002, and that works for logging in on the console or remote via ssh. However, if I use {g,x,k}dm I keep getting an umask of 022, because Xsession is started by the display manager which has a default umask of 022.
It seems that Xsession doesn't change the UMASK at all. I think it should inherit the values from /etc/login.defs. But maybe this should be done by the display manager, in which case this bug applies to {g,k,x}dm and whatever other display managers Debian provides. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages xfree86-common depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.5 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t -- debconf information: xfree86-common/experimental_packages:
