System Default Values for useradd

The primary tool used to add new users to your Linux system is useradd. This command pro-
vides an easy way to create a new user account and set up the user’s HOME directory structure all at once. The useradd command uses a combination of system default values and command line parameters to define a user account.

To see the system default values used on your Linux distribution, enter the useradd command with the -D parameter.

The -D parameter shows what defaults the useradd command uses.

If you want webalizer or awstats pages to be available by default for new domains, you can do so by creating:

In the file add the code

Then chmod the domain_create_post.sh script to 755.

If you want it to be for awstats, then change the bold stats name to be awstats instead.

Setting up webmail.domain.com as default for new domains with DirectAdmin

1) You’ll need to setup the virtualhost for apache. This can be accomplished by adding a 2nd virtualhost along side the domains main one.

You’ll need to edit the newly copied virtual_host.conf (or virtual_host2.conf if you’re using apache 2) file , just add the following to the end of whatever you currently have.

Save and exit. Then run

to rewrite the httpd.conf files.

2) You’ll also need to setup the dns portition.

This will setup the webmail A record for new dns zones. For existing dns zones, you’ll have to manually add the webmail A record to point to the domains IP.
