I would like to know if it's possible when creating a new user with
the '/usr/sbin/useradd' script to set the users home directory
permissions to 700 rather than the Debian default of 755? I don't
understand why Debian does this not do I really care to debate it but
I don't like users being able

Carlos,
If you set the default umask in /etc/login.defs , useradd will obey this
when creating home directories. Try setting UMASK 077 in /etc/login.defs .
Alternately, you can user the higher level adduser tool, which has it's
own configuration setting for world-readable home directories
If I change the DIR_MODE=0700 in /etc/adduser.conf, will that also be
honored when using 'useradd'?
