[SOLVED] useradd issue

[Piyu_86]

Hi all

when we add user using useradd command with -m option its home directory also gets created with bash_profile,bashrc ,bash_logout file
this files gets copied from /etc/skel forlder

the default permission and ownership of /etc/skel
by doing ls -lart

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Dec 19 03:11 .bash_logout
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 Dec 27 20:27 .
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 132 Dec 28 06:40 .bashrc
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 214 Dec 28 06:40 .bash_profile
dr-xr-xr-x 64 root root 3240 Dec 28 18:03 ..

and the ls -lart of /home/userC

-rw-r--r-- 1 userC users 18 Dec 19 03:11 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 userC users 132 Dec 28 06:40 .bashrc
drwx------ 2 userC users 4096 Dec 28 17:52 .ssh
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 28 17:54 .
-r--r--r-- 1 userC users 214 Dec 28 17:56 .bash_profile
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 28 18:24 ..

Now what I want is the default owner and group of bash_profile,bashrc and bash_logout to be root and not userC:users

can anyone please help be out is there any way to have the owner of those file as root at the time of running useradd command

*Nix Administration 101 - When you want to change what a command does, replace it with your own version.

- Find the useradd command
- Move it to another name
- Replace it with your own useradd shell script that: 1) Calls the original useradd and then 2) runs a chgrp root on the completed home folder.
