Public bug reported:
All home directories (/home/* and /root) are readable for everyone, even
if the owner did not explicitly allow other useres to read/list it:
$ ls -lhd /home/* /root
drwxr-xr-x 16 user1 user1 4,0K 2007-03-26 01:27 /home/user1
drwxr-xr-x 2 user2 user2 4,0K 2007-03-25 14:47 /home/user2
drwxr-xr-x 2 user3 user3 4,0K 2007-03-25 14:44 /home/user3
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4,0K 2007-03-26 00:26 /root
To change this for new users, I had to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure
adduser
To change this for existing users, I had to run: sudo chmod -R o=
/home/* /root
