It's a simple solution to separate users home dirs from public view, so
to speak.
With this solution there is no need to make home dirs world readable,
thus you're able to set 700 on their homes which, as I see it, is a
good thing.
... and with chroot and a kernel patch you're should even be allowed to
put it on apublic net ;)
