It is. The point is (generically) that if a user was able to telnet (or
SSH) in, they could then go into other user's home directories, since by
default the directories were created world-readable. In my case, I will
set the shell to /bin/false, so they can't login in any way that gives
them shell access (telnet, SSH, whatever).
