Re: help request for changing default users umask

Hi,

Sorry for my difficulties in explaining it in english... you are right about home permissions... modifying permissions of tjener's /etc/skel IS enough for that. But client workstations ignore both umask set in tjener's /etc/pam.d/common-session and that in /home0/<....>/.profile when the user logins from a client and creates files or directories. They all come out with the old 002 permissions.

I still have to try other configuration files you mentioned and i hope i'll find a way to fix it!

For roaming workstations you are right. There, the first login creates
a home from the roaming workstation's /etc/skel.

For workstations (with networked homes on tjener), the user home gets
created during user creation and that uses /etc/skel on tjener.
