Automatically Add SSH Keys on Account Creation

[keddie]

Can anyone suggest a way for me to have a custom authorized_keys file added to each new account when it is created?

I have a template authorized_keys file that is prepopulated with my main admin pubkeys, it would simplify things a lot for me if I didn't have to manually add them each time.

You could write a /scripts/postwwwacct shell script to do that. Documentation for /scripts/postwwwacct is available at:

ScriptHooks < AllDocumentation < TWiki

Yep, the postwwwacct is the best way to do this, it will fully automate the process.
