I have set /etc/login.defs to a umask of 077. Also, I commented out the USERGROUPS_ENAB entry.

When I create gedit documents (for example), I am getting rw-r--r--. This does not reflect umask 077.

I then went to ~/.profile and set umask there. But this had no effect on anything.

Please advise on where "/etc/profile.local" is. I can find no such entry.

still reconfigure globally using /etc/profile.local.

 Is your question based on the documentation contained within /etc/profile and
/etc/login.defs? I don't think "systemd" changed anything, while pam may have. I
still reconfigure globally using /etc/profile.local.
