Hi.

You can create a script file /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local.
This file will be called after a new user is created.

In my "adduser.local" file I have something like:

L_HOMEDIR=$4
echo Changing the file permissions on "$L_HOMEDIR".
if [ -d  "$L_HOMEDIR" ]; then chmod o-r "$L_HOMEDIR"; fi
#EOF

More in "man adduser".

Of course it works only if you use "adduser" command.

Bye.
