Actually the kernel doesn't really care. The property is set by what is
called the umask (for daft historical reasons that don't matter). You
can set it in a users login scripts and it will then be inherited by
their login.
For home directories setting the directory to 0600 will block access to
all files within the directory also. Directories use
r - can list contents
w - can create/delete/link/mkdir etc
x - required to access the contents of this directory or below
