Description Ravindranath Akila 2008-04-25 04:14:52 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
umask value is critical in security. It appears that setting the umask value for a user via terminal does not apply when creating a folder or file in the GUI. This seems to be a very embarrassing thing to happen. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. For example, login as userabc and set the umask via terminal>umask 0077
2. mkdir umask, ls -ld umask,
3. In graphical mode, create a folder called UMASK. In terminal>ls -ld UMASK will show the permissions set not according to the umask value


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
