Not having looked at the code, but relying on what is in /etc/default/useradd, useradd -D, and useradd(8), I'd say no, this feature is not supported. Besides, the permissions (and umask) for a user should be the *user's* choice, within reason. Perhaps group writability is needed. Perhaps there is a public_html dir. 0700 on /home/username would kill it. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
