For example both on Fedora and Ubuntu, all the skeleton dot files reside in /etc/skel/ (note the minor correction to my previous suggestion).

In other words this could be very easily scalable solution to large *nix deployments. :) > Warm regards, > Stefan GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
