This directory is the default location for all user‐specific con‐
figuration and authentication information. There is no general
requirement to keep the entire contents of this directory secret,
but the recommended permissions are read/write/execute for the
user, and not accessible by others.
So 700 is not only possible, but also recommended. :-)
