Re: umask

[Christian Ruffer <ruffer@concarnet.de>]

Thats what I already tried. I can't belive it is so hard to set spezial 
user settings vor the bash.

i want to change the default umask permanently for one user.

1. I change the .bashrc file. uncommented umask
nothing

2. I added a .pam_umask file with 002 in it.
nothing

3. I tryed to change umask for all in /etc/pam.d/common-session
session optional        pam_umask.so umask=077
nothing

4. I changed /etc/passwd for all.
This worx.
