This is standard unix behaviour. if a user's home directory path isn't readable by that user, they can't access it. typically the /home dir should be world readable as should the / dir. home directories can be any permissions a user wants and should be owned by the user themselves.

unsure if this is appropriate for the list anyhow... You are incorrect about this being "Standard Unix Behavior". Standard unix behavior dictates that you only need executable access to a directory to access any of its contents. Wether or not you can read any of the directory's contents is a different story, and *that* is what's controlled by the read bit. <ss>
