Hi all,

I noticed /root is installed with mode=0755 (and updated every time by
installworld). It's the root home directory... some admins (like me) are
using it for keeping sensitive data away from regular users. Shouldn't it
be mode=0700 in /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist?

Also, when adding new users their home directories should be protected the
same way. Am I wrong?
