The only thing that I am not sure of is that this could be just a Debian thing but I doubt it. I do know one Debian specific thing is that you can customise the location of the skeletal files in /etc/adduser.conf. I often make copies and customiset his file for different groups of users and then run adduser with the --conf option. -- Jeremy Lunn Melbourne, Australia
