https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217414 Bug ID: 1217414 Summary: changing default umask for new users homedir sets the current umask for ALL users including root Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: joergboe44@googlemail.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- When I change the default umask for new users home dir, the umask for all users (including root) is changed after login. This is not what I expect and may be dangerousö. OS version: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231121 Steps to reproduce: 1. Check the umask setting for a user or root: su --login test2 Password: test2@localhost:~> umask 0022 2. Change the umask for home directory of new users: Yast->User and group management->Defaults for new users: Change umask for home directory to 002 3. Login as a user or root e.g 'su --login' su --login test2 Password: test2@localhost:~> umask 0002 The umask is changed for all users. This bug is almost the same as in Bugzilla – Bug 606249. But the behavior is obviously changed since then. In the current Tumbleweed version the YAST changes the UMASK in file /etc/login.defs.d/70-yast.defs And this seems to be enough to change the umask for the next login. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
