Thank you for your explanations. I made some progress in my investigations: the problem seems to be a change in the "su" command from f32 to f34: my personnal umask is 0077 and I use to log as root using the command "su -". Until f32 this way of doing gave a root login with all environment variables of the root account (including the UMASK). As far as I can see this is no more the case in f34.... Where is the config for the "su" command? And is it possible to change this behavior?
umask isn't an environment variable. It's a kernel setting for the process. Why are you using "su" anyway instead of "sudo"? (I don't know if that will change anything regarding the umask, but it's better to not have a root password.)
Maybe this will help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/328104/setting-umask-for-su-user-command _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
