Hey there!
I have included a patch to adduser that allows a user to change the
permissions with which adduser sets a new home directory. I made this
change because I ALWAYS forget to set up a default permission since most
variants of Unix already set it to 0751 for me.
I also included a diff of the man page for adduser that gives some
information about the change.
I tried testing this in as many possible ways as I could. I'd like to
think I did a good job, but only time can tell.
Should I send this patch somewhere else or not?
