From CBLFS
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis will make sure each user is set up appropriately with the correct group memberships, as well as copy the appropriate template of files from /etc/skel to each new user's home directory.
Modify the /etc/default/useradd that shadow installed:
useradd -D -b /home sed -i "/CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL/s/yes/no/" /etc/default/useradd
Add the default group that new users will become automatic members of:
groupadd -g 1000 users
Complete the EXPIRE and SHELL entries of /etc/default/useradd based on the current environment:
/usr/sbin/useradd -D -s/bin/bash
Create the /etc/skel directory:
mkdir /etc/skel
Copy any personal settings you want to be applied upon user creation in this directory.
Create the adduser script and give it executable permissions:
cat > /usr/sbin/adduser << "EOF" #!/bin/sh useradd -m $1 passwd $1 gpasswd -a $1 users gpasswd -a $1 audio EOF chmod +x /usr/sbin/adduser
