Shalom,

/etc/skel

I think you misunderstand, SEP.

/etc/skel is where the generic .profile and other "dot files" are stored.

The /etc/default/useradd contains options that useradd will use when creating the user.

# cat /etc/default/useradd
#default useradd options
HOMEDIR /home
GROUPID 20
INACT -1
EXPIRE
CHOWN_HOMEDIR no

Hi Senthilkumar,

When you use useradd without any options except login id, the following values will be used. Use useradd -D to list the default values.

# useradd -D
GROUPID 20
BASEDIR /home
SKEL /etc/skel
SHELL /sbin/sh
INACTIVE -1
EXPIRE
CHOWN_HOMEDIR no
#

/etc/skel is the skelten directory from where necessary user profiles will be copied for the users.

On 11.31, /etc/default/useradd is mentioned under the -t option but not -D.
