Hey all,

 

I am not sure if this is a security issue in Fedora Core 5 but when using useradd the user home directory

is created with the following permissions; 755

 

If anyone is using Fedora Core 5 I would suggest editing the /etc/login.defs and appending the following:

 

UMASK 077

 

This affects Fedora Core 4 too
