PAM_UMASK(8)                   Linux-PAM Manual                   PAM_UMASK(8)

NAME
       pam_umask - PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
SYNOPSIS
       pam_umask.so [debug] [silent] [usergroups] [umask=mask]
DESCRIPTION
       pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask of the
       current environment. The umask affects the default permissions assigned
       to newly created files.
       The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places
       in the following order:
       o   umask= argument
       o   umask= entry in the user's GECOS field
       o   UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
       o   UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
       The GECOS field is split on comma ',' characters. The module also in
       addition to the umask= entry recognizes pri= entry, which sets the nice
       priority value for the session, and ulimit= entry, which sets the
       maximum size of files the processes in the session can create.

       debug

       usergroups
           If the user is not root and the username is the same as primary
           group name, the umask group bits are set to be the same as owner
           bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).
       umask=mask
           Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask
           & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal.
