I've written some scripts for population of home directories. I think
its the only real, good option here. Especially since you may want to
change their contents down the road. With a versioning system, this is
easily possible.
So in our template home directory, there is a file with a version number
in it. When a user logs in, the startup scripts check that his home
directory version is up to date. If not, then it does the required
task. No version means copy everything in from the template. An older
version means run whatever script needed (usually copying in a file,
removing a file, or something simple like that). This way, all users
stay up to date. Additionally, since its not running on everyone's home
directories at once, the server doesn't incur any huge load.
We are using Gnome 2.8 on Solaris 9, so our scripts will look different
than yours would. But if you'd like a copy anyway, contact me off list.

I'm trying to get all my Sun Ray users to have the same icons on their
desktop. We are currently using Solaris 9 with the Gnome 2 desktop and
are putting icons on the desktop for Firefox, Thunderbird, Star Office,
etc. (I know...JDS would get around my problem but that isn't an option
in this case).
How do I get all my users to start with the same icons? Has anyone come
across this before? I can get it to work for new users by putting
the .gnome-desktop and .gnome directories in the /etc/skel directory
but what about my existing NIS users that will be using the Sun Rays?
Thanks,
Jeff
