i have on my server a settings i use for all my users. every time i create a new user i have to copy all the settings over and over.



for example:




  • .vimrc.

  • .profile

  • .bashrc

  • firefox homepage to our intranet

  • evolution settings (server and username)
    etc...



i saw skel can do it, is there a easy way to setup a user with my settings when i adduser?



thanks

Everything should be located in the /etc/skel folder.



You need to create a link on the desktop for all users:



mkdir -p /etc/skel/Desktop

cd /etc/skel/Desktop/

vi shortcut.desktop

    [Desktop Entry]

    Version=1.0

    Name=ShortCut

    Comment=Visit ShortCut

    GenericName=ShortCut

    Exec=firefox http://intranet.ShortCut.com

    Terminal=false

    X-MultipleArgs=false

    Type=Application

    Icon=firefox

    Categories=Internet

chmod +x shortcut.desktop


That will create a link on the desktop.
