    The files are copied from /etc/skel

    ls -a /etc/skel # to see them

    Info which you may need:

    man adduser
    man bash (INVOCATION section)

    Please also note that /etc/bash.bashrc is not automatically executed. You
    need to source it in one of the startup scripts if you want it used.
