Not an objection, just something to think about: Do we want to =20 deprecate the use of "adduser -k /etc/skel"? I know you said you just =20 want to remove the directory, and every admin is allowed to create it =20 again, but by removing the directory from the mtree file, we give a =20 signal into the direction of deprecation. Bye, Alexander. --=20 I have discovered the art of deceiving diplomats.
