# base files for distributions #
Creates user `user` with password `changeme` (not in Qubes).
That is if user `user` is not existing yet.
And if it does create user `user` it also locks the root account.
Therefore root account locking effectively only happens in new
builds not having user `user` already created.
Adds user `user` to groups `cdrom`, `audio`, `dip`, `sudo`, `plugdev`.
Ships a systemd unit file dist-skel-first-boot.service
which runs `/usr/libexec/helper-scripts/first-boot-skel`
(part of helper-scripts) package.
Simplifies sudo default lecture to only showing the default password once.
Creates version file `/var/lib/dist-base-files/build_version`.
Default shell: Sets default shell for user `user` to `zsh`.
(Unless file `/etc/no-shell-change` exists.)
