(where is it?) Like in RedHat it is /etc/skel directory where you can create Maildir, Maildir/new, Maildir/cur, Maildir/tmp ..and whatever directory and files you want to be created by default in user's home directory when ever you add new user > >Thanks in advance > >Franco Vecchiato > Santosh Pasi

Typically /etc/skel/, but every vendor seems to feel that it's crucial to reinvent every wheel, so there's no one definitive answer. man useradd (or perhaps it's adduser) will tell you more. -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | Microsoft rivets everything. 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | Linux has some loose screws.

switch from mailbox to maildir format
Hi, I want to switch from mailbox to maildir format. In INSTALL.maildir I read the instructions: begin text % maildirmake $HOME/Maildir % echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail Make sure you include the trailing slash on Maildir/. 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. -end text-- what's the "new-user template directory"? (where is it?) Thanks in advance Franco Vecchiato
