    Great! But I noticed something.

    When the system copies those files for a new user, they're all owned by
    root:root. Is there a reason for this? When the system created the
    initial non-root user upon installation, the files were owned by that
    user.

    How would you make it so that those files copied from /etc/skel/ were
    owned by the user your were creating with adduser?
