Hi,
I want to set the umask of a user (or all) within his gnome session. I'm
using Gnome Shell 3.18.3 without wayland, on latest archlinux.
I tried standard places of setting umask, such as /etc/login.defs,
/etc/profile, /etc/pam.d/system-auth with "session optional
pam_umask.so, but nothing works. On tty sessions, the user have the
defined umask, but on Gnome, he always have 0022 no matter what I define.
In the list archives, I only found this discussion, from 2005, but I
doubt this is a good solution today:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2005-January/msg00004.html
I also tried to get help from other users on the internet, but didn't
get much answers:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254378/how-to-set-umask-for-the-entire-gnome-session
Is there a known way to do so? Do you have other suggestions?
If this is not the good place to ask, do you know where I could ?
By the way, the use case is that we share files between users of a
group, and I want any file created from Gnome with rw-rw-r--
permissions, so that other users from this group can edit them later. So
I thought that I'd use a 0002 umask. I checked that Nautilus is creating
files with these permissions if I open it from a terminal where I have
changed the umask before. Now I need to change the umask for the overall
gnome session.
