I use the mk_homedir PAM module.
Then I set up /etc/skel carefully. Sometimes /etc/skel is not enough,
where config files must have the username patched in or something.
I create uppercase versions of the filenames in skel, and then run the
appended script (placed in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ) that looks
for these files and edits them appropriately on user login.
Might seem a little complicated, but I have several installations
and thousands of users.
/etc/skel has these files :-
skel/.bash_logout
skel/.bash_profile
skel/.bashrc
skel/.galeon/bookmarks.xbel
skel/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/PREFS.JS
skel/.gconf/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/%GCONF.XML
skel/.gconf/apps/galeon/Browsing/General/%GCONF.XML
skel/.gnome2/gdm
skel/.mozilla/default/60et3lk5.slt/bookmarks.html
skel/.mozilla/default/60et3lk5.slt/PREFS.JS
skel/.netscape/PREFERENCES.JS
skel/.phoenix/default/m9p125rr.slt/PREFS.JS
Mostly this sets up a proxy, and the home page, for galeon/mozilla/firebird.
Cheers, Andy!
