Request to create users home directory with 750 modes.

Privacy by default.

There's no more to say, beyond that. I think that a simple user should not be 
able to browse other users home directory even if important files are kept 
unaccessible. Also this prevent unaware users to undisclose important files 
because of wrong permissions.

Privacy by default !
