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

especially since

Yup. But the OP requested a method to set 0700 on his home dirs.

Won't that give an unknown user/group error? Afterall, the user doesn't
exist before useradd.

/etc/default/useradd?
BTW - The instructions above could be made simpler by this:

When I create a new user
# useradd -m
the user's home directory is created with a bad set of permissions.
(drwxr-xr-x) Where do I set the default permissions for home
