First of all, thanks for your answer.. I tried to chmod both /etc/skel and /usr/share/skel to 700, yet it's not working.. I've checked in /usr/local/etc for any "skel" directory, but it's not there and the man page for "adduser" says it's /usr/share/skel (which doesn't work) .. Regards, Jesper Wallin
