# mkdir /home/cagefs-skeleton

# ln -s /home/cagefs-skeleton /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton

On cPanel servers, if you will be placing skeleton into /home directory, you must configure the following option in:

cPanel WHM WHM -> Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Basic Config -> Additional home directories
