My distro also have the etc/skel, but what i want itīs to duplicate a user that already exists. I do that my making a copy of his home directory to the one of the new user, because i need do duplicate the KDE configuration.
Imagine :
I have a user called zuser, i configure it(KDE,...). Then i want to make a copy of this user to create another 10 new users based on zuser. What i do is to create the user, i call it guest1, then i erase is home directory and copy the contents of zuser home to guest1, #cp -rpd /zuser/. /guest1.
Hor can i do it automatically for the 10 users (just give the username for each one).
Copy .kde .kderc and .qt from /home/zuser to /etc/skel - when you create a new user from that point on, their default KDE will be the same as that of zuser (unless zuser changes something *after* you've copied the files over!!)
