Would it not perhaps be better to have only the directories needed for
existing usernames?
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/mail
sed 's-\(.\)\(.\).*-\1/\2-' /etc/passwd | uniq | \
while read dir
do
test -d $dir || mkdir -p $dir
done
chmod 755 ?
chmod 1777 ?/?
You should sort the list before piping it to uniq as the password file
isn't guaranteed to be sorted. Or just use "sort -u" instead of uniq.
The procedure for creating new accounts thereafter could include
similar code:
...
This is the problem: depending on how accounts are administered, there
might not be a 'hook' where this code could be inserted. For example,
the "adduser" program that comes with OpenBSD has no standard way to run
a given program upon account creation.
