Okay, I'm going to jump in now and ask something I have always wanted to
know the answer to but always seem to forget.

Can /home be configured so all files are created with permissions of
0600 (or 0700 for directories)?  I use a umask of 77 but that's annoying
when playing with files in other locations.

Sorry if this is obvious/stupid :)
