I would like to change the default umask for users to 077. This can be done in users' .bash-profile and /etc/login.defs but in these files it is suggested that libpam-umask is used instead.
Problem:
LANG=C LC_ALL=C apt-get install libpam-umask
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
cups-common cupsys-common dcoprss kappfinder kate kcontrol kdebase-data kdebase-kio-plugins kdenetwork-kfile-plugins kdepasswd kdeprint kdict kdnssd kfind kget kicker klipper
kmenuedit knewsticker konsole kopete kpager kpersonalizer kpf ksmserver ksplash ksysguard ksysguardd ktip kwin libcups2 libcupsys2 libkonq4 sidux-vdr-client-data
Suggested packages:
mtools efax hylafax-client mgetty-fax avahi-autoipd zeroconf gnomemeeting

I realise this is an old post
why not try to set it in /etc/profile
change the default
umask 022
to your preference.
Be aware that root can always read write and execute anything
good luck |
