My motives:
I want to create deployment script which prepare all system with just 1 click, and although learn Linux this way. So I don't want to use interactive utils like adduser (all interaction info I put in some settings.txt).
My system:
Debian 8.2 (jessie)
I want:
Create user account with home directory and default folders inside. Like adduser do but with useradd.
My problem:
There is paragraph in man userradd:
-m, --create-home Create the user's home directory if it does not exist. The files and directories contained in the skeleton directory (which can be defined with the -k option) will be copied to the home directory.
I looked in /etc/adduser.conf to find the value of SKEL variable for adduser. And it is /etc/skel.
But after I run some useradd -m myuser -k /etc/skel, I've got empty /home/myuser directory.
Update 1
After I created some additional file, it alsought copied to the new user home directory (with 3 hidden files). So it means that /etc/skel doesn't impact on such folders as: Desktop, Downloads, etc. But in this case what does?
