(Both through ftpd, and just regular login shells). Users come and go on my system with some frequency, and I have a fair number of them. What is the best way to maintain the content in the etc/ directories of users for which chroot is run? (In particular, the pwd.db and groups files, as well as *motd (which change from time to time)). Is there a standardized script that I can use with pwd_mkdb to auto install these files into all users' home directories? Or, am I on my own to hack something together to suit my tastes?
