Dear Maintainer,
In useradd(8), we have the following:
-d, --home-dir HOME_DIR
The new user will be created using HOME_DIR as the value for the user's
login directory. The default is to append the LOGIN name to BASE_DIR and use
that
as the login directory name. If the directory HOME_DIR does not exist,
then it will be created unless the -M option is specified.
The last sentence says HOME_DIR will be created, but it is not. Looking
further,
it appears the reason is because CREATE_HOME does not exist in /etc/login.defs
I've attached a patch to remove the last sentence of above description.
