Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have made a PHP script that interfaces with the Linux user system. The problem is that the rights granted to a new user's home directory is 700, and I need 711. Is there a way to set the default rights for a new user? Each home directory must have execute access to everyone. I am running Fedora Core 3 without SELinux.
I think I know what you mean...the umask of /home is 0022 but I don't think that effects it. I looked at /etc/skel and /etc/default/useradd and can't find anything. Any ideas?
