CreateHomeDir

[Flyinace2000]

I need to update several home directories with a new library folder from a new defualt user template. What i did so far is this

1. Backup current HomeDirs
2. Deleted users home directory
3. createhomedir
4. copied data back in excluding the library folder
5. chown -R to make sure they still own it

Then i realized i gave them the wrong defualt user template and need to do it again. My question is that if after i put the defualt user template on the server, is there a simplier way to distribute the new library folder?

Here are some suggestions that might be the same as your procedure.

Remove the Library folder [code]rm -R /Users/*/Library [/code] Copy the new Library folder [code]ditto /Users/templateuser/Library /Users/*/ [/code]

Then do a [code]chown -R[/code]

In terminal do a man on diito for detail information

[code]man ditto[/code]
