Hi

Here is the link for custom skel for resellers.

[http://www.interworx.com/support/faq/how-to-customize-the-look-of-new-siteworx-accounts-by-editing-the-skel-file-and-directory/](http://www.interworx.com/support/faq/how-to-customize-the-look-of-new-siteworx-accounts-by-editing-the-skel-file-and-directory/)

I hope it’s what you were looking for but if your meaning change the nodeworx I would imagine it uses the same for administrators and resellers, and if so you need to create a new look and upload it to nodeworx.

I’m sorry if I have misunderstood what your trying to do.

Many thanks

John

Hello

Still wondering about custom skel files for Resellers… In the meantime I worked out how to use event hooks to copy custom files to a reseller’s user’s home dirs. I’m posting what I did here in case anyone else could use it.  
  
For the event hook to work it must be enabled in nodeworx-\>plugins you also need to create a file /etc/iworx-hooks.conf y with chmod 754 and belongs to root:iworx

iworx-hooks.conf should contain the following lines

# run my script after a siteworx account gets added   
Ctrl\_Nodeworx\_Siteworx add /chroot/home/myscript.sh  
(you call name/place this file whatever/wherever you want instead of myscript.sh)

set the appropriate permissions / ownership:  
chmod 0770 and chown iworx:root myscript.sh

Yo must also allow iworx user as a sudoer:

run visudo

[I]include the following lines

[/I]  
#Event Hook InterWorx  
%iworx ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /bin/bash -p /chroot/home/myscript.sh  
#Defaults requiretty

You can then create you own shell script [I]myscript.sh with interworx variables starting with iw\_

[/I]you can script to copy the files you want for the re-seller you want on account create or whatever else you need to do.
