Hello:

Before reinstalling the system, I would like to backup the
templates I use for user account creation. Could someone
indicate where they are stored on disc ? The OS is Sol 9.
Thanks.

Unless you mean the things in /etc/skel you'd have to be a bit clearer
about what you mean by "the templates I use for user account creation".

I refer to the templates one may create in the solaris management console
tool, defining things like home directory root tree, uid, group, password
options and whatnot. After system reinstallation, those templates will be
gone, and I would like to save them so that I could eventually import them
in the SMC on the refreshed system.

Hi
Assuming that it is the skeleton profiles that useradd uses that
you're referring to, then you'll find them in /etc/skel.
You should also consider saving off /etc/profile if it's been modified
as that will be used during login initialization.

Cheers,
Paul.
