RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Elio Maldonado Batiz 2010-10-15 23:13:56 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #636792 +++

Description of problem:
setup-nsssysinit.sh re-writes / re-creates pkcs11.txt.  When new file is created, current umask is taken into an account.  If run with restrictive umask settings, the file may be created with permission that do no allow non-privileged users to read the file, hence sysinit may remain disabled for users even when it's intended to be enabled.

The script should either set umask before running sed, let sed take care of preserving correct permissions (using in-place edit mode), or chmod file at the end of run.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.12.7-6.fc13
