[H-GEN] Global UMASK on Debian

[Robert Webb]

Hello all,

I am trying to set the default UMASK for all users on a Debian system by
adding

UMASK            002 to /etc/logon.defs

This doesn't seem to have any effect, the users still get 022.

I can change it successfully for individual users by running umask 002 at
the command prompt.

I have also tried setting it in each users .bash_profile which has no effect
either.

Has anyone else run into this problem?
