“screen” is losing umask setting
I am using the screen tool quite a bit.
Recently I discovered that the umask within screen is different from what I am setting in my .bashrc.
$ screen -v
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
$ umask
0002
$ grep umask .bashrc
umask 0002
$ screen
$ umask
0022
What gives? How can I have screen retain the umask?
linux gnu-screen centos-6

Hmmm ... bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1300700 ... noteworthy observation: in Ubuntu the umask doesn't change when I fire up screen; the shell running within screen inherits the umask from the parent shell.

After my umask call in my .bashrc, I sourced /etc/bashrc.
This code caused my umask to get reset when screen or even bash was run after logging in:
if [ $UID -gt 199 ] && [ "`/usr/bin/id -gn`" = "`/usr/bin/id -un`" ]; then
umask 002
else
umask 022
