useradd Question

[marquischan]

When doing useradd -m abc

a directory which is called /home/abc will be created

Is there any method to force the /home/abc 's permission to 0770 ? It is 0755 by default !!

Thanks

man useradd

I don't see that feature. You'll just have to change it after.

You do know that 770 provides write access to the group members too? (Just checking)

Why not just write a simple shell script that adds the user via useradd, then chmods the permissions based on a variable assigned by the username?
