No, it=E2=80=99s just an accident due to =E2=80=98useradd=E2=80=99 preservi=
ng the skeleton=E2=80=99s
permission bits.  The user=E2=80=99s dot files can be modified as they see =
fit;
they are not managed at all by Guix.

But that these files are created read-only is really a bug.  useradd(8)
doesn=E2=80=99t seem to have an option to change the permission bits, so we=
 may
have to iterate over all the dot files after the useradd invocation to
change their permissions.  Better ideas?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
