The trick which will trip up this script is that the skeleton files in
/usr/share/skel/ are named dot.profile and dot.bashrc, etc. So the 'cp'
needs to be a little smarter to actually rename the file, something like
this:
cp /usr/share/skel/dot.profile /home/$user/.profile
I've posted another reply to johann's question which will address this
problem :)
