FILES
/usr/sbin/gpoa utility uses /usr/share/local-policy/default directory as a source for settings of "Local Policy" to set some behavioral defaults for machine in AD domain. All data is located in /var/cache/gpupdate. Also domain GPTs are taken from Samba's /var/cache/samba. The settings read from Samba are stored in Dconf. Machine policies are stored in the /etc/dconf/db/policy.d/policy.ini file, user policies are stored in the /etc/dconf/db/policy<UID>.d/policy<UID>.ini file (where UID is the user ID in the system)."Local Policy" settings read from /usr/share/local-policy/ are converted into GPT and stored as /var/cache/gpupdate/local-policy.
