UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am trying to create 10 users, each with a mydocuments directory in their home directory and this month's calendar in each mydocuments directory. I know there is a way using /etc/skel, but do not understand how. Any and all help will be appreciated. If you could give me the command lines with description would be great. NOT just looking for the answer, but to learn from it also. Thank you.

edit ba bakunin: Subject lines like "Please help" will - even more so when accompanied by a wild bunch of exclamation marks - not get you more or better answers. They just let you look more desperate. Please use descriptive thread titles.

If the newusers script is available on your system, you can use it to batch create all of your users. Otherwise you can use the useradd utility, with the appropriate command line options, in a simple shell script.

The /etc/skel directory contains files and directories (folders) that will be copied in the new user's home directory (login directory), when that user is created with useradd or other commands.

So create a mydocuments directory in /etc/skel, add this month's calendar to the mydocuments directory, and each user's home directory will be populated with a mydocuments directory and it's contents as the user account is created.
