 |
|
Can anyone point me in the direction of creating my own user scripts whereas when a new user is created, certain files are copied into their home directory?
Also, when I finally complete a fully SQL based mail system which would eliminate the need for individual home directories, would this script become redundant or what would replace it? |

| "man useradd" mentions /etc/skel, if that's of any use. |

| Am assuming that whatever is placed in /etc/skel is copied into the new users home directory? |

| Look at the "-m" option in the manpage. |
