    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>
      pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
      of the current environment. The umask affects the default
      permissions assigned to newly created files.
    </para>
    <para>
      The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the
      following places in the following order:
      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            umask= entry in the user's GECOS field
          </para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            umask= argument
          </para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
          </para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
          </para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </para>
    <para>
      The GECOS field is split on comma ',' characters. The module
      also in addition to the umask= entry recognizes pri= entry,
      which sets the nice priority value for the session, and
      ulimit= entry, which sets the maximum size of files the processes
      in the session can create.
    </para>

              If the user is not root and the username is the same as
              primary group name, the umask group bits are set to be the
              same as owner bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).

              This is the direct opposite of the usergroups option described above,
              which can be useful in case pam_umask has been compiled with
              usergroups enabled by default and you want to disable it at runtime.
