That's hardly better, other users can still look. That's fine with me.
I can move out of group "users" those users I do not want to look, or, I can put them or me in a group per user.
But the minimum thing to do is to disallow "all", IMO.
I seem to recall at one point each user had their own group.
That's the default on other distros. It is a matter of choice, there are pros and cons for either. It would be nice if YaST would have a setting to choose which method we wanted.
That way you could add whoever was allowed to access your files.
To be picky, not you, but the admin :-p
Again, others shouldn't be allowed access, unless you give it to them. My systems are all single user (if you ignore my dog & cat), so it's not critical. The last time I set up a multi user system was about 10 years ago and I thought the default permissions were different then.
No, they have always been the same on openSUSE for about two decades. I'm not sure about the "all have access", though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
