When I create new user id-s using "adduser" the account has the password protected screenlock activated. New users are not aware of this, and when one user starts a lengthy hardware process and then leaves, it is locked for the next user, which then cannot log in when it is his/her turn to use it.
I very frequently forget to change the screenlock setting when I create the new user id.
Is there a way to change the configation in the skel so that screenlock is disabled by default for new user id's? Where is the file (if any) that controls this?

Re: Disabling screenlock for new users
right now, but I'd guess that there's
something under "~/.dt/" which is used to
store this setting (along with many others).
The file name/case stuff is all different,
but on my VMS system, I see
dtsession*extension.lockTimeout: 0
in [.DT.SESSIONS.CURRENT]DT.RESOURCES
so I'd guess that there's something similar
in someplace similar on Tru64. Perhaps:
~/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources
It might be mentioned in the CDE docs, but if
you're in a more experimental mood, you might
run a (relatively) quick experiment. Create
a new user, log in, get the undesired
behavior, and log out. Save the whole
"~new_user/.dt" tree somewhere. Log in, make
the desired change, log out (saving the
session). Compare the new "~new_user/.dt"
with the saved old one. ("diff -r".)
As I recall, there are template files
somewhere which get copied into a new user's
"~/.dt", but I don't remember whence.
man dtsessionfile
No bets. Worst case: do a big "find" + grep
to locate some text found in a new user's
dt.resources (or whatever) file. The stuff
must be somewhere.

Re: Disabling screenlock for new users
I think it is created at first login if it does not exist.
Maybe I need to create it and fill it with appropriate preconfigured files it by some script when I create the new user.

SolutionI'd expect the template files to be in a
(plain) "dt", not a ".dt", wherever they are.
The _user_ gets a ".dt". Try:
/usr/dt/config/C/sys.resources
("/usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources")

One way or another, ...

Re: Disabling screenlock for new users
dtsession*saverTimeout: 10
!#dtsession*lockTimeout: 30
dtsession*lockTimeout: 0
dtsession*cycleTimeout: 3
dtsession*saverList: StartDtscreenBlank
which took care of the problem.
A test verified complete success, a new user had screenlock turned off from start.
Thanks for the support!
