On Red Hat systems the default is /home/username/public_html as specified in
the UserDir directive in httpd.conf.
The easist way to handle this is to add a public_html to /etc/skel with
permissions 755 before adding any user accounts. The new accounts will still
default to 700 for the user's home directory, but there should be a place to
change that default. I'm curious about this myself. I'll look into it and
report what I find. If all else fails, you can always do this:
cd /home; for userdir in `ls` ; do chmod o+x $userdir ; done
