Ah, but there's a snag with the root account which is what Charles is using |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
"useradd root" is never run on a Unix boot and /etc/skel is only copied |
| 29 |
over by using useradd. The root account is created at install time |
| 30 |
unpacking the stage 3 IIRC so the profiles it gets are whatever is in |
| 31 |
the tarball. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
To get /etc/skel for root, one has to copy the file. |
| 34 |
I keep forgetting to do this myself on installs, this the main reason |
| 35 |
why I know more about bash startup than I should :-) |
