It has been my experience, lately, that individuals or families sharing a computer have a single login account, i.e. "Family", etc.. This is probably due to the perception by such simple-needs $USER's or their family I.T. guru, that--it is the easiest way to overcome the reasonable and appropriate account isolation techniques, by default, in Windows or macOS. I suggest that the same could be true for Ubuntu and it would hardly be noticed, except by experienced *nix $USERS, most of whom-- would already know how to twiddle the appropriate bits, if needed, to open their $HOMES.

Surely this is a bad idea? If your set on the idea can we atleast have a option during the boot proccess? Also new files that are created via the console ('touch' etc.) are done so with '644' permissons, is there anything that can be done here? nautlius seems to create files at '600', which is a better setting.
