Courier-IMAP, useradd, skel problems

[Matthew Daubenspeck <matt@oddprocess.org>]

I am currently using squirrelmail and courier-imap for a webmail only
mail server and am having problems adding new users. I created a new
user and sent a test message to the account to which exim creates the
correct ~/Maildir directories, and delivers the mail into the correct
folder. However, when I try to login through squirrelmail, I get the
following error:

Preference database error (connect failed). Exiting abnormally

I checked with other servers where I use the same config/setup, and I
noticed that in the ~/Maildir directory, there are two files named
courierimapsubscribed and courierimapuiddb, which is not on the new
system. How can I create this?
