Duncan Overbruck 085d04c3dd
add new HOME_MODE login.defs(5) option 
This option can be used to set a separate mode for useradd(8) and
newusers(8) to create the home directories with.
If this option is not set, the current behavior of using UMASK
or the default umask is preserved.

There are many distributions that set UMASK to 077 by default just
to create home directories not readable by others and use things like
/etc/profile, bashrc or sudo configuration files to set a less
restrictive
umask. This has always resulted in bug reports because it is hard
to follow as users tend to change files like bashrc and are not about
setting the umask to counteract the umask set in /etc/login.defs.

A recent change in sudo has also resulted in many bug reports about
this. sudo now tries to respect the umask set by pam modules and on
systems where pam does not set a umask, the login.defs UMASK value is
used.

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> file defines the
site-specific configuration for the shadow password suite. This file
is required. Absence of this file will not prevent system operation,
but will probably result in undesirable operation.
</para>
<para>
This file is a readable text file, each line of the file describing
one configuration parameter. The lines consist of a configuration name
and value, separated by whitespace. Blank lines and comment lines are
ignored. Comments are introduced with a "#" pound sign and the pound
sign must be the first non-white character of the line.
</para>
<para>
Parameter values may be of four types: strings, booleans, numbers, and
long numbers. A string is comprised of any printable characters. A
boolean should be either the value <replaceable>yes</replaceable> or
<replaceable>no</replaceable>. An undefined boolean
parameter or one with a value other than these will be given a
<replaceable>no</replaceable>
value. Numbers (both regular and long) may be either decimal values,
octal values (precede the value with <replaceable>0</replaceable>) or
hexadecimal values
(precede the value with <replaceable>0x</replaceable>).
The maximum value of the regular and
long numeric parameters is machine-dependent.
