Probably, behind the original decision there were also issues of home access, required by some unprivileged services, like apache (userdir).
Today, letting all users accessing any ~/Doc,~/Pic,~/Video look like a huge security hole (MS Windows deny this). But anyway, today 'user' access should support user namespaces (subuid/subgid) This is required for rootless container development (podman, docker). Another point is "sandbox model" by snap/flatpak. In particular in "partial" supported scenarios: Snap+SeLinux (fedora) and Flatpak+AppArmor (ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48734 Title: Home permissions too open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adduser/+bug/48734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
