Great!  But I noticed something.

When the system copies those files for a new user, they're all owned by 
root:root.  Is there a reason for this?  When the system created the 
initial non-root user upon installation, the files were owned by that 
user.

How would you make it so that those files copied from /etc/skel/ were 
owned by the user your were creating with adduser?
