Hi Kirkx,
Great it worked!
"The /etc/skel directory contains files and directories that are automatically copied over to a new user's home directory when such user is created by the useradd program.
[...]
/etc/skel allows a system administrator to create a default home directory for all new users on a computer or network and thus to make certain that all users begin with the same settings or environment."[1]
So, the second step is only necessary if you (as system administrator) have changed the default settings in /etc/skel.

@Jerry: thanks for the kind words
