- caymanjim 8y agoUbuntu, with default configuration, does create new user directories as globally-readable, but that's just a poor security decision on their part. There's nothing special about /home itself; it's just the default behavior of adduser. And the permissions on /home have no effect on what the permissions are on new subdirectories created when a user is added.
