I am looking around for some advice here. I have been asked to make a script that automatically creates a user, home directory, sets the shell to nologin, downloads a tar of scripts, installs said ...

I want to know how I can create a crontab when I add a (new) user to a box, similar to what happens whith the contents of '/etc/skel/'. This will be on Redhatish servers, and for regular shell users.
