Of course anyone can change the defaults to what he needs in particular because it's all truly free software, cf. the "useradd - adjust defaults to other tools and distributions?" mail thread here.
How can we, as root, change the defaults of our machines for users we create?
Look at login.defs and override the defaults via drop-ins in /etc/login.defs.d, so that they survivey an update?
Seeing that there is no agreement.
Why is an agreement necessary here if you as root want to change the defaults or your machines?
And how do we set the default properties of the directories and files users create under their own home? This is taken as so basic that nobody explains it.
Google shows me 766000 hits for this... Just start reading, I suggest to start with login.defs and UMASK.
I would be happy with home been group readable, but not world readable (by others)
echo "UMASK 027" > /etc/login.defs.d/umask.defs But this is also explained as example in login.defs.
