Question

In which of the following directories can you place files that will be copied to new user directories when new users are created?

A) /usr/local/bin
B) /usr/local/template
C) /usr/local/share
D) /usr/local/lib

Answer 1

The correct directory for placing files that will be copied to new user directories upon user creation is typically /etc/skel, which is not listed among the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The directory where you can place files that will be copied to new user directories when new users are created is typically the /etc/skel directory on Unix-like operating systems. None of the given options (A) /usr/local/bin, (B) /usr/local/template, (C) /usr/local/share, or (D) /usr/local/lib are standard directories for this purpose. The /etc/skel directory serves as a template for new user home directories. When an administrator creates a new user account with the useradd command, the system copies the contents of the /etc/skel directory to the new user's home directory.
