Is there a way to have the user's home dir be mode 711? Is there some option somewhere I am missing? Thanks

AFAIK there is no such option, but you can use a small shell script like this: #!/bin/sh useradd "$@" || exit 1 while [ $# -gt 1 ]; do shift; done chmod 711 "/home/$1" Call it something like "myuseradd" and invoke it with the same arguments you would use for the original useradd. Exception: This simple script assumes that a users home directory is always /home/USERNAME. You can extend it to recognize the -d option and read the defaults in /etc/defaults/useradd, if needed.
