Yes, I found that directory. Currently it only contains .bashrc and . bash-profile. The problem I have is that the dir I copy doesn't work once it's copied. I suspect that this has something to do with copying files which shouldn't be copied and son't make sense in another users context. A number of dirs/files are also created in /tmp with user names embedded in dirnames and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. I had considered updating etc/skel once I find the files that are required and remove the ones which are stopping it from working.
