Re: MacOSX 10.0.X Permissions uncorrectly set

[Guillaume Rischard <sfocus () stereo lu>]

Same here - /Users/stereo/Desktop is chmod 700 on OSX 10.0.4, both 
Server and "Standalone". The template for new user directories is stored 
at: 
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Resources/English.lproj/
user.gnutar. You might want to check if the template's permissions are 
set correctly.

Hope this helps :)
