Re: [SLE] Management: each user have a short cut to a certain folder on their desktop

Even if I can creat shortcuts manually for all users (each host have around 10 users for 10 classes of students), I still have trouble next year when I need to do this another 10x20 times because old users are removed and new users are created. I wish to creat it in /etc/skel but I cannot do it as long as they were not actually files. The 'everythig are files' concept of UNIX seems no longer welcomed these days.

Any suggestions? Is it possible, e.g. add my add-shortcut-script to the very script created Desktop folder when new user login the first time?

As long as symlinks are preserved during copy from /etc/skel to ~, there should be no problem putting them in skel. Jan Engelhardt --
