>Description:
I do not have any initial user except 'root', so there is no /home or /usr/home directory on my system. Then I 'adduser' and set the '/home/myuser' permission to 0700, and the bug appears.

'adduser' tool created a /home directory and then a /home/myuser directory, and set both permission to 0700! The /home directory is owned by root, so the newly created user have no permission to access its own directory!
>How-To-Repeat:
1. remove the /home and /usr/home directory

2. adduser, when it says 'Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default):', input 0700

3. login as the new user
