Hello Alkis, do note that it is typical for users to own their own home directory; if a user wishes to share, they can run: chmod 755 ~ or chmod 751 ~ (The choice is based on whether they want to allow listing their home directory or not.) Of course, they'd be wise to inspect the permissions on their other files and directories to make sure they're only sharing what they intend to share. Of course, if the local administrator has decided that users cannot own their own home directories, then that's another question entirely, one you'll need to take up with the local administrator.

Surely this is a bad idea? If your set on the idea can we atleast have a option during the boot proccess? Also new files that are created via the console ('touch' etc.) are done so with '644' permissons, is there anything that can be done here? nautlius seems to create files at '600', which is a better setting.
