writability is needed. Perhaps there is a public_html dir. 0700 on
/home/username would kill it.


Since we're already off topic...

No, it won't kill the public_html dir. I happen to have an account on a system in which the home directory has 0700 permissions, but so long as the public_html directory has 755 permissions, everything will work fine. The 0700 on the home direcory imply that no other user can determine whether a given file or folder is present in this users' home directory without naming the file explicitly. Note that the other user can still read any file in the person's home directory, provided they know it's there, and the file itself is not read protected. This was another issue on the system that I mentioned earlier.
