Hello.. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 and when I create new user accounts with "adduser", the home directories are world readable/executable.. Sure, it might be useful if I want to publish a website in my public_html, but yet, it should be up to the user if he want to have his homedir world-readable, but by default it should be set to "chmod 700" or "chmod 750" if each user has their own group imho. However, I saw that "adduser" had a config file (/etc/adduser.conf) but the there is no manual entry for adduser.conf and I can't find any example for it.. How can I change the default permission for new home-directories? Regards, Jesper Wallin
