[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1112678: login.defs: USERGROUPS_ENAB and UMASK are nonfunctional

[Bob Rosbag]

Package: login.defs
Version: 1:4.17.4-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian at bobrosbag.nl

Dear Maintainer,

Setting "USERGROUPS_ENAB no" does nothing, the group for creating new files
stays the same, with the same umask. This applies to both existing users as
newly created users. I would expect new files to have "users" as group instead
of their own username and have an umask of 022.
The same applies to "UMASK 022", entered values are not used.
