/etc/skel

Put this on your homedir exporter. I also force E-mail to my users $HOMEDIR. That is what Maildir is for. You want to make sure that all the perms are right too. Especially if you include a default ".ssh/" setup with known host key and such. You can also pre-generate an SSH-Key for your users too. But we will wait for you to ask.

That way only YOU have the rights to edit it. Also you might wanna look into /etc/security/ and the stuff in there.

All I can say is... *COOL* you really are trying and doing... \\o/ YEAH!

Oh, this is just my home machine. My /etc/skel on my primary File server has much more.

Post #216,667 by folkert 7/27/05 2:56:39 PM Reply	Yes. No. Exchange sucks at keeping things. It is a behemoth that just uses and uses and uses resources. Most everything evo does is in the local $HOMEDIR/.evolution/ So, you could just not use it. Even not have it. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
Post #216,689 by inthane-chan 7/27/05 4:33:41 PM Reply	Agreed. However, the Exchange server is out of my reach. apt-get install godlike-powers
