How can an administrator control which files are placed in new users' home directories?

By adding or removing files in /etc/skel.

By creating a script in /etc/rc.d.

By editing /etc/passwd to include the desired files.

By setting the UMASK in /etc/login.conf.

How can you verify that a user account is locked?

Check the GID in /etc/group for the user's name.

Check the UID in /etc/passwd for a value above 1000.

Check the password field in /etc/master.passwd for a leading '!'.

Check the shell field in /etc/passwd for /bin/false.
