- 25 local users created within the span of a few minutes, all using the exact same method (CentOS Users app) and same settings.
- Populated home folders indicate a full, proper copy from /etc/skel.
- Folders with only Desktop seem to be a half-assed attempt where it just gives up after that one folder.
- Most of the time it just fails outright; on logging in, it's like a new machine, except not even with the basic CentOS user folders.
- Full grep of /var/logs shows no reference to permissions or drive issues, nor reference to /etc/skel/ or /home/ that would be helpful or show a difference.
- Occurs on all machines (a couple hundred of them), on and off the domain, with same frequency of success.
- Statistically happens more with local user creation, but domain users sometimes have unpopulated home folders as well in the exact same manner.
- Was working fine in mid February. Something in an update seems to be the cause.
- Latest CentOS 7 with all updates as of Monday, fresh image otherwise.
