This means you do not put them in /etc/skel but create your users at build time, right? I do that in a couple of live system (with useradd -r system user to do not disturb default user creation) in a hook script, but I'll also chown the paths manually in the same live-helper chroot's hook. If it is a single user and a the files to be copied do not requires much space, you will find easier to put them in /etc/skel as Chris suggested. -- ESC:wq -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
