Additionally, if you change your umask, mkdir(2) (which is what is used by
adduser) will be restricted. So, if you want files created to be completely
restricted from group/other access, you might do:
# (umask 077;adduser)
A more useful value (especially if you are supporting something like
'public_html' in user directories) would be a umask of 066, or maybe even
026.
For more info see `man 2 umask` and `man chmod`.
