Fixed in 41db5a756369f5b14d1e67a523ee0940cad56744.

For the other user accounts, useradd(8) does its thing, and apparently
it defaults to world-readable accounts (it defaults to a umask of 022 as
written in the man page).

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

After a default install of GuixSD, anybody can read root's home
directory. I think /root should have permissions 700 instead of 755.
