Default valid shells and home dir permissions



Hi ppl.,

1/  I'm wondering why most of the system users have valid shells by default ?

cat /etc/passwd | grep -E '(sh|bash)' | wc -l
21


2/ Why, by default, new users' home directories have 755 ?
Every time I create a new account, I have to change it to 700.

Why it's like this ? any special reasons ?

These are what I've checked on my Squeeze boxes.

Rgrds,
Davit
