Feature changed by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Feature #306645, revision 2 Title: Secure home directory permissions by default openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Description: Also see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518550 . The default for home directories is 0755 (umask 022 in login.defs), and here's the fate entry to change it to 0711 (umask 066). + Discussion: + #1: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) (2009-07-04 06:55:24) + GNU/Linux is still Un*x and it is about cooperation. + Besides this, avery default is arguable as Thorsten pointed out in the + referenced bug entry. It ain't use changing it. + On sensible systems, better encrypt home directories. Maybe, we should + consider improving help texts and documentation if all this is not + obvious to the user. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306645
