#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Usage: perms_user_home_default_umask <a user home directory> [<keep executables: no|yes, default: yes>]
#
# Fix permissions for user:
# - align with umask 022 (755 on folders, 644 on files)
# - keep +x flag for already executable files if enabled (default, otherwise set to no)
# - set 700 (only allow owner to go into directory)
