However, I cannot reproduce this here: [22/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ ls -l /etc/skel/subdir/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 11 13:13 link-to-file -> /etc/fstab [23/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ sudo adduser --home /home/test99 --shell /bin/bash --ingroup users --disabled-password --gecos "bla,,," test99 Adding user test99'... Adding new user test99' (1003) with group users'. Creating home directory /home/test99'. Copying files from /etc/skel' [24/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ ls -l /home/test99/subdir/ total 8.0K lrwxrwxrwx 1 test99 users 10 Mar 11 13:14 link-to-file -> /etc/fstab [25/[EMAIL PROTECTED] sid]:~$ Can you give more information?
