==Using /etc/skel== This tip shows you how to use /etc/skel to ensure that all new users on your system get the same initial settings. The /etc/skel directory is the directory used by useradd to create the default settings in a new user's home directory. To change the location of /etc/skel, edit /etc/default/useradd. Code Listing 1 # useradd defaults file GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/bash SKEL=/etc/skel Typically files included in /etc/skel are .rc files for shell initialization, but you could also include a public_html directory, a custom dircolors file, or anything else. Code Listing 2 % ls -A /etc/skel .bash_profile .bashrc .maildir .screenrc .tcsh.config For more information on customizing /etc/skel see man useradd.
