Synopsis

o

o pri= entry of the users GECOS field

o

o ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field

o

o UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs

If the user is not root, and the user ID is equal to the group ID, and the username is the same as primary group name, the umask group bits are set to be the same as owner bits (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).

umask=mask

Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal.
