Do note, however, that:
* since a while now every account is required to set a default license for
  scripts in their home directory
* in most cases (always?) ts-users can read files in other user's public_html
  directory. And some users open up "read" for the root of their home dir as 
well
  (I do), of course invidual files that are sensitive can (and should) be 
chmod'ed
  differently.
