>Description:
The homeperm setting in /etc/usermgmt.conf is ignored by useradd.
The code that reads the settings from /etc/usermgmt.conf sets a default value
for up->u_homeperm after the value was read from the file,
overwriting the read value.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. set homeperm to a value other than 0755 in /etc/usrmgmt.conf
0700 for example.
2. create account with the -m flag to create the home directory
and without the -M flag.
useradd -m test1
3. The home directory is created with 0755 mode and not the mode
specified in /etc/usrmgmt.conf.
>Fix:
in file
src/usr.sbin/user/user.c
in function
read_defaults(user_t *up)
move the line
up->u_homeperm = DEF_HOMEPERM;
before the code that reads _PATH_USERMGMT_CONF.
for example, after
up->u_expire = DEF_EXPIRE;
and before
if ((fp = fopen(_PATH_USERMGMT_CONF, "r")) == NULL) {
