    hi people.

    it doesn't appear that permissions set within the /etc/skel carry over
    to the new users home directory (this is expected but unfortunate!).

    here's what i did:

    # cd /etc/skel
    # mkdir www
    # chown .apache . www/
    # chmod 770 . www/
    # useradd webtest
    # passwd webtest
    <password stuff>

    of course the directory exists in /home/webtest but it's owned by the
    user and it's group and not apache.

    how do i give it default permissions also?

    thanks,
    chris.
