[Bug 943176] useradd ignores umask for skel files

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943176 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943176#c5 --- Comment #5 from Bernhard Wiedemann --- I just read man useradd more closely and found UMASK (number) useradd and newusers use this mask to set the mode of the home directory they create and indeed it does exactly that (In reply to Daniel Pecka from comment #0)

useradd -K UMASK=0077 -m -g secret-agents some_username

# ls -la /home/secret/ total 52 drwx------ 7 secret secret-agents 4096 Aug 26 01:25 .

so the umask is applied to the home dir, but not the skel files within which conforms to the docs, but maybe not to expectations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
