[Adduser-devel] Bug#442627: adduser: Please, consider 0750 as default permission to user's directories

[Joao Eriberto Mota Filho]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.102
Severity: wishlist

The 0755 permission allow single users to see the home directory of the others users. Please, consider 
to use 0750 as default permission to each home directory created by adduser command. IMHO, it is an 
important action to preserve the security of the users. Other option is to set the debconf question 
about this issue as high.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
