[K12OSN] Windows AD

[Thomas E. Haynes]

Ummm...

I started thinking about my own post.

In my setup the user directory is set up 711 permissions, and then I have a
public (700), and a public_html for user web pages (755). If you are not
needing something like the public_html, I would just create the user
directory  with 700 permissions.

Regards...   Tom
