Well, set it for one user, and see if others can get into the directory or
not.  If not, you can do a

chmod 700 *

while in /home, and it will set all directories to drwx------
permissions.

as for /etc/skel stuff, that's a good question, I've never had to do
this before!

take a look at the end of /etc/adduser.conf

I suspect the DIR_MODE=0755 if changed to 0700 will make this the way you
want.
