Try to look out the "SpamAssassin-ClamAV-Procmail-Howto" from http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/spa...ail/index.php. I did try to copy all ".antivirus.rc .html-trap.rc .spamassassin.rc .forward .procmailrc and .user_prefs" to "/etc/skel" so that when I use "useradd" with "-m and -k" option, that 6 *.filenames will be make a copy on user home directory.

When you look out inside the content of ".procmailrc and .spamassassin.rc", there was a specific user home directory path way (/home/www/web1/user/testuser/) that will need to change during when adding a new user email account and it needs to change also for the specific user home directory path way.

What I want to become is, if I add a user "james" with "-m and -k" option, all 6 *.filenames will be copied on my /home/james and besides that, the content inside of ".procmailrc and .spamassassin.rc" (from /home/www/web1/user/testuser/) will be change to /home/james. Yet, /home/james/.forward should be chown by the owner "james" and change mode (chmod) to 600 privilage.


Someone says that I need to make a perl script. I had no knowledge on perl Programming, I am hoping anyone could make me.


I hope you had a brilliant idea that you'll share to me for accomplishing this scenario. By the way, sorry for my horrendous english .

Why not just change .procmailrc and .spamassassin.rc that are in /etc/skel dir so they reflect
the user path just by replacing /home/www/web1/user/testuser with the env variable $HOME ?

Hi keefaz.

I try this on .procmail and .spamassassin.rc:

## .procmail ##
INCLUDERC=$ENV{HOME}/.antivirus.rc
INCLUDERC=$ENV{HOME}/.html-trap.rc
INCLUDERC=$ENV{HOME}/.spamassassin.rc

## .spamassassin.rc ##
* < 256000
| /usr/bin/spamassassin --prefs-file=$ENV{HOME}/.user_prefs


When I try to email, I can able to get email message. But, when I try of having
sample-spam.txt (w/c contains spam codes) and send it to the user, the user can
will recieved email but the message was not able to detect the spam attached file to notify the user.
Why? Maybe $ENV{HOME} was wrong?


james

Try replace $ENV{HOME} with $HOME or make the path begin with ~/

and for spamassassin.rc :
* < 256000
| /usr/bin/spamassassin --prefs-file=~/.user_prefs

(It is just a suggestion though, I have not idea if it will work or not)

Hi keefaz.


Its work. But When I send email with spam attached to the user, and
login to user email account, I noticed that the email message takes extra
time (at least 1 mins or 50 Seconds) before its arrived to the home user.


Now my problem is when I add a user account, I'll be going to use -m -k
/etc/skel on useradd command (useradd -m -l /etc/skel user). What I wanted
is when I issue "useradd user", the files will automatically generate and
copy to the home directory of user or if it possible to modify/add
codes from built-in "adduser" script in Slackware, will its better.

Just do an alias in your ~/.bashrc like

alias newuser="useradd -m -l /etc/skel user"

If i will do alias newuser="useradd -m -l /etc/skel user" from ~/.bashrc , then when I issue useradd james , that will make /home/james homedir too? I'm curious why you put on ~/.bashrc since that is for invidual .bashrc for home user.

Im curious also in alias newuser="useradd -m -l /etc/skel user" , when that happen, that will create "user" account that will supposedly /home/user homedir?


james

eh alias is a bash function, try it, open a terminal and type :
alias ll="ls -al"

now each time you type "ll" ls -al is executed
if you want bash aliases for root you put them in /root/.bashrc and even login as root or
su -

There is a problem. I did try your alias newuser="useradd -m -l /etc/skel user" and when i type newuser at prompt, I got

useradd: invalid option -- l
usage: useradd [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [-G group,...]
[-d home] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-m [-k template]]
[-f inactive] [-e expire ] [-p passwd] name
useradd -D [-g group] [-b base] [-s shell]
[-f inactive] [-e expire ]

Well you have got wrong arguments, which is -l so i did change it to -k and i remove user. So now it becomes alias newuser="useradd -m -k /etc/skel" ... Now its work fine.


Thanks for the help keefaz!
