To customize adding/deleting users even more but still use the built-in tools, adduser/deluser can be used.
It has config files and custom scripts that can be run automatically when a user is added/deleted:

/etc/adduser.conf
/etc/deluser.conf
/usr/local/sbin/adduser.local
/usr/local/sbin/deluser.local

HTH.

Hi,

The last few sentences talk of /etc/.vimrc and they should be /etc/skel/.vimrc

Cheers,
Craig.
