So, simply copying your stuff into /usr/shar/skel is not a good idea - because if one user changes a certain configuration option, it could change that feature for /all/ the users. There needs to be some kind of 'transfer to so and so' option. I was wondering if any work had been done on this, or if anyone had a workaround. -- ~*~* Jason
