Wow! Approaching 13-years and counting on this bug. Neat. Desktop Linux: The principle of least astonishment (POLA) should _always_ be priority-one with Security. Open $HOME's are a surprise to me and everyone I know.
Now that cloud storage has taken the desktop users of the world by storm, is the need to have open(r-x) $HOME dirs still needed? We've lost the 'Guest" user login since 18.04 and we've lost ecryptfs as an option in the installer. Why not just throw a simple toggle into the installer, to surface this issue, offering admins the option? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48734 Title: Home permissions too open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adduser/+bug/48734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
