umask= argument
umask= entry in the user's GECOS field
UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
The GECOS field is split on comma ',' characters. The module also in addition to the umask= entry recognizes pri= entry, which sets the nice priority value for the session, and ulimit= entry, which sets the maximum size of files the processes in the session can create.
