Here's the makeuser.sh file first. I have it in /home/makeuser.sh With LTSP,
it's best to have autologin users as ws001 to wsnnn I use ws000 as my 'source'
user, where I can log in and set up options like Mozilla settings, Openoffice
settings, etc. I don't let anyone log in as ws000

#!/bin/sh

# Note - don't use with an existing username!

if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then
exit
fi

if [ "$1" == "ws000" ] ; then
exit
fi

# Create the new user
adduser $1

# Add them to the users group
usermod -G users,games $1

# Create their home folder
mkdir /home/$1

# Copy the 'ws000' user's folder to the new username
rsync -aux /home/ws000/ /home/$1/

# Change all the permissions in that folder to the new user
chown -R $1:users /home/$1

# Remove the OLD kde stuff - sockets, etc
rm /home/$1/.kde/*-Old

# remove the current .kde sockets
rm /home/$1/.kde/tmp-tux
rm /home/$1/.kde/socket-tux


# Get admin to change the password
passwd $1

# remove the OpenOffice stuff
rm /home/$1/.sversionrc

# remove the mozilla/netscape stuff
rm -rf /home/$1/.mozilla
rm -rf /home/$1/.phoenix
rm -rf /home/$1/.netscape
rm -rf /home/$1/.netscape6

echo "Now you have to log in as this user and run Firebird once."
echo "Then run 'sh update.sh'"
