Title:
Upstart overrides the user's umask
Status in Upstart:
Fix Committed
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I set the umask in my ~/.profile. In previous releases of Ubuntu this
worked nicely. Now, I find it has been reset from 0027 to 0022. On
investigation, this appears to be upstart's fault. Setting
umask 027
in an upstart override file for my desktop session (gnome-session)
restores the desired functionality, but obviously this is not ideal,
as it's a duplicated setting (I still need the setting in ~/.profile,
e.g. for terminal and ssh logins).
This sort of problem has been common in other parts of the stack in
the past (e.g. gdm/gnome-session used to stomp on the user's umask
too), so it's understandable that it comes up in upstart, but equally
it would be nice to fix it!
