I noticed that default permissions for adduser are 0755 for the users home directory... well I would rather make it 0700... as to keep prying users away from other users directories... so, I find the adduser script, then I change all references of 0755 to 0700... does this work? nope. I add a user and viola. its still 0755... now at first I would go through the /usr/sbin/adduser script and change it, save the file, then run it and it would change itself back to 0755... then I discovered another adduser.perl file under /usr/src/usr/sbin/adduser/ and changed it there... so now it doesnt overwrite my changes but I'm still getting the 0755 permissions... Ok so what stoopid thing am I missing here? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
