Files in /usr/share/skel are used as example . (dot) files for new
accounts, when new user is added by adduser command.
We have some local modifications in those files, like another umask and
so on.
The modification is persistent accross upgrades if system is upgraded by
freebsd-update, as we have the directory listed in UpdateIfUnmodified
and MergeChanges.
But on some machines, we can't use freebsd-update (in jails, or those
running STABLE instead of RELEASE).
The files are overwritten on each installworld.
Is there any option to not overwrite files in /usr/share/skel or
install/upgrade them with mergemaster instead?
Or should we use some other directory and use adduser.conf instead?
