Startup Files

When a user is created, many startup files are placed in their home directory.

        [root@localhost ~]# useradd guest
        [root@localhost ~]# cd /home/guest
        [root@localhost guest]# ls -al
        total 36
        drwx------ 3 guest guest 4096 May 11 20:29 .
        drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 11 20:29 ..
        -rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 302 May 11 20:29 .bash_logout
