gdm doesn't take care of pam_umask settings.

[Tiziano Tissino]

Hi folks,

Needing to set a different default umask for my users, I installed libpam-umask
and added the following line to /etc/pam.d/common-session:

session required pam_umask.so umask=0007

This works fine using login, but doesn't work with gdm.

To fix the problem, I had to create the file .gnomerc on each user profile. On
that file, I added the following line:
umask 0007

However, I think gdm should take better care of PAM settings...

Could you try if that's still an issue using the new gdm in karmic or lucid now?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. My apologies as I should not have marked this Invalid. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
