NAMEpam_umask − PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
SYNOPSISpam_umask.so [debug] [silent] [usergroups] [nousergroups] [umask=mask]
DESCRIPTIONpam_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: • umask= entry in the user's GECOS field • umask= argument • UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs • UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login 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.
OPTIONSdebug Print debug information. silent Don't print informative messages. 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). nousergroups This is the direct opposite of the usergroups option described above, which can be useful in case pam_umask has been compiled with usergroups enabled by default and you want to disable it at runtime. umask=mask Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDEDOnly the session type is provided.
RETURN VALUESPAM_SUCCESS The new umask was set successfully. PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error. PAM_CONV_ERR The conversation method supplied by the application failed to obtain the username. PAM_INCOMPLETE The conversation method supplied by the application returned PAM_CONV_AGAIN. PAM_SERVICE_ERR No username was given. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known.
