For system-wide settings , use /etc (e.g. /etc/vim/vimrc.local). Use site-specific scripts for any more convoluted needs you might have.

There's no "need" for any of the files in /etc/skel, so there's nothing that needs fixing. /etc/skel these days is mostly distro-specific defaults that users expect to see (a better PS1, for example, or aliases like ls --color). For that same reason, there's no need to update files in user directories. Important stuff goes to login.defs or /etc/profile or maybe elsewhere, you can have a very functional setup with zero files in ~.

The home-dir is intended to be under the control of the user. Updating that without asking him could be bad. So something like that would have to be something interactive, asking for permission.

Out of curiosity, since this does not affect me directly: is there a need to update existing home directories? For example, if one adds new files to /etc/skel, those only affect new home directories created after the fact, the existing ones won't have the file anyway.

I second this, as I feel the need to have some hook to create the home "directory". Recently, with ZFS or Btrfs (I imagine for this one, did not check myself) or remotely-stored (ex.: NFS) homes, it makes sense to have some local script to create them, not only something to fill them up with stuff. I was thinking into uglily patching my own adduser, but it's definitely worst something more generic, as many people might benefit from it. > Cheers, > Chris.
