Ok, so after you've run "mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd", edit the resulting file
and set the home directory field for every user to your chosen dir. Bingo: all
users get same home drive, same .rc files and so on. Only catch is that you
have to remember to re-edit the file any time you re-generate it again in the
future. That would be quite a simple job to do with a script that pipes the
mkpasswd output through sed.
Or set up ssh and have them all log in as the same username, regardless of
their domain logon.
cheers,
