As many of you know or may not know, the /etc/skel folder is the 
'default' folder used when adding a new user.  Typically, you will find 
.bashrc, .bash_logout, and sometimes .procmailrc, in it.  This files are 
included in the new user's folder at the time of user creation.

For those who make changes to the /etc/skel folder, what are the items you 
commonly add or would suggest to system admins?  

Any common .bashrc additions to lock down users or restrict paths?

Directories, like public_html/ or httpdocs/?
