    What file is UMASK stored for BASH?

    I am trying to configure the default umask setting for my users when they login using ssh. What file is this in? Is there a way I can change it per user? I am running RedHat. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank You.

    /etc/profile
    You can do an "if" there to have it different for users/groups

    There are no umask settings now in that file. Does bash have a default setting 0022 if no umask is sepcified? I am also using chroot'd accounts. How can I set this within each jail?

    Yes, it uses the default.
    For the jail thing it depends on how its setuped.

    for chroot just use the same file in the chroot, and bash will read it.

    Is the default setting compiled into BASH?

    You mean copy /etc/profile to the chroot'd user's /etc/?
