Configuration (new user defaults) assistance needed.

http://forums.opensuse.org – I am working on setting up my home network to be centrally managed from my server (Opensuse 11.3). What I want is for all newly created accounts to automatically have an entry (in .profile I assume, is there a better location?) that runs a script on login, but I do not know where to find the default .profile at to modify it. So far I have /etc/skel, /etc/zypper/repos.d, and /var/cache/zypp/packages on the server exported to each PC via NFS. /etc/skel doesnt have anything but the bin and public_html folders in it. On another note, I am writing a shell script to check for the mount entries i (Distributions)

Stories similar to Configuration (new user defaults) assistance needed.

I have a Red Hat 5.8 server that is bound to active directory and users are authenticated via active directory when they log in via sftp. User home folders are created during login using /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

When there is no .zshrc file in a user's home directory and zsh is started, an interactive configuration utility is run instead of directly giving access to the shell prompt.

I set up zsh to be the default shell on my Debian Wheezy systems. Therefore every newly created user gets zsh as login shell if I do not change that manually.

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up my new dedicated server with whm/cpanel. I have a slightly odd set up in that I don't require the server to be used for http access. I am setting domains up to be used as an ftp data storage by our employees only.

My question is can I prevent any folders from being created in the users root directory upon account creation and simply allow him/her to up

I made a terrible mistake while move sites of one server to another. We created virtualhosts in the new server using virtualmin. But while restoring files from old server to new server, I mistakenly copied all files in "/home/VIRTUALHOSTS-NAME/" instead of "/home/VIRTUALHOSTS-NAME/public_html".

I have a folder that holds templates of all kinds of files, ~/.vim/skel/tmpl.XXX, when you open a new file for writing, it would be loaded automatically,

autocmd! BufNewFile * silent! 0r ~/.vim/skel/tmpl.%:e autocmd! BufNewFile Makefile,makefile silent! 0r ~/.vim/skel/Makefile:e

But it just don't work for Makefile, what's wrong with it?

Spin, dconf and skel? 26 weeks 4 days ago

After the first few approaches in tweaking the spin, writing and modifying files, not all settings are that easy changed. My favorite application saves its settings using g/dconf.

I know one can use the cli to modify these values, but my question is: How can i easy provide default settings for dconf applications using /etc/skel?

Thank you for every hint.

Startup script (mount) 3 years 28 weeks ago

I'm planning to implement a startup script in order to mount some Windows Share folders while starting my computer at work.

I have a few questions:

1) Where should I locate the script? I know I can probably place it anywhere, but I assume some "best practice" exist? Only my user should (be able to) execute it.

User and group ID's 2 weeks 6 days ago

Not sure what the title should be. I'm requesting some help on an issue that I currently have between my server and my desktop. The server runs CentOS 6.4 and the desktop runs Fedora 18.

I have a couple of NFS exported folders, mounted on my deskop at boot time, exported from the server, /mnt/script and /mnt/terra.

In a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory how can I make sure that each user open login have their Desktop, Documents, Links, Pictures, etc folders set to a shared private folder?

For example, instead of the default C:\Users\<username>\Documents I would like that this would be set automatically to Z:\Documents.

Back in the old days of me being Admin, I recall it's some script set up in
