Much to my surprise I found out that openSUSE doesn't create a group by
default with the same name as the username. For example in Gentoo
creating the user 'aniruddha' also creates the group 'aniruddha'. This a
long time tradition to solve problems caused by using using the 'users'
group for home folders.
What is the reason openSUSE doesn't create a $username group for each
user?
I mentioned this a while ago and while it isn't a severe problem if the
permissions are set correct, they're not in SUSE. As default, anyone in
the users group has access to everyone else's home directory. Either
change the group or change the permissions to prevent that. I agree
that individual groups should at least be an option in SUSE. You may
want to change the default permissions, if you don't create individual
groups.
