Hi folks, I'm in the process of trying to roll out Ubuntu across one of our offices as a replacement to Windows XP. At the moment on Windows XP we have a standard desktop which includes desktop background, Internet Explorer proxy settings and other tweaks.
Now rather than have the hassle of setting up each individual users desktop when they first login I was hoping it would be possible to set a default desktop configuration for each new user. I just wondered if it was possible? What I was looking at doing was setting up Ubuntu to authenticate against the Windows 2003 Server (so I don't have to create a bunch of individual accounts too) and have their home directories mount to their user directory on the server. I vaguely remember reading something about default settings in /etc/skel but after looking in that directory I see there are just some default files for bash. Is it possible to put a set of default files in to /etc/skel and is there any specific configuration files I need?
