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

Hello debian!
I have a RAID-5 mdadm array with 4x500GB drives (1.4TB usable). I'm
running out of space and am going to buy a new drive, but I would like to
move to 1TB drives (either RAID-5 or RAID-10, haven't quite decided yet). I
can't afford to buy all new 1TB drives at once so I'm thinking a
can be given as max which means to choose the largest size that
fits on all current drives.
