Is it possible to add a new user and copy the Gnome, Netscape etc
settings of an existing user to the new user in RH 7.1?

What I am trying (unsucessfully) to achieve is to add 2 new users to the
one computer but have all settings the same as the existing user.

If you can add a new user and copy across settings is it then possible
to have all settings updated to remain constant across all users.??

TIA
