new-user template directory

1999-02-16 Thread Andrew Richards 

Hi,

I'm installing Qmail. The document INSTALL.maildir has this sentence,
"The system administrator can setup Maildir as the default for everybody
by creating a maildir in the new-user template directory and replacing
./Mailbox with ./Maildir/ in /var/qmail/rc"

My question: where is this 'new-user template directory'? Does it
mean /var/qmail/new-user, /var/qmail/users/new-user or
/var/qmail/control/new-user, or something else yet again?

cheers,

Andrew Richards.

What OS are you on?
How do you normally create new users? If you use a program, read its
manpage and search for "skeleton".
Do you have a /etc/skel dir?

It is usually /etc/skel.  It is *not* a qmail specific concept.
