Grr..  this should be so simple....

I noticed that default permissions for adduser are 0755 for the users home
directory...

well I would rather make it 0700... as to keep prying users away from other
users directories...

so, I find the adduser script, then I change all references of 0755 to
0700... does this work?
nope.  I add a user and viola. its still 0755...

now at first I would go through the /usr/sbin/adduser script and change it,
save the file,
then run it and it would change itself back to 0755... then I discovered
another adduser.perl file under /usr/src/usr/sbin/adduser/ and changed it
there... so now it doesnt overwrite my changes
but I'm still getting the 0755 permissions...

Ok so what stoopid thing am I missing here?
