Yes, you're right. *I* was wrong. > To summarize, I'd vote for your suggestion to > supply /etc/default/useradd with: > > SHELL=/bin/sh Here's what we will supply from now: # Default values for useradd(8) # # The SHELL variable specifies the default login shell on your # system. # Similar to DHSELL in adduser. We however use "sh" here because # useradd being a low level utility should rather be as widely opened # as possible SHELL=/bin/sh # # The default group for users # 1000=users on Debian systems # same then USERS_GID in adduser # Please be aware that Debian's adduser defaults to "user groups" # which means that one group is created for each user # There is no way to achieve this with useradd which must remains a low # level utility # GROUP=100 # # The default home directory. Same than DHOME for adduser # HOME=/home # # The number of days after a password expires until the account # is permanently disabled # INACTIVE=-1 # # The default expire date # EXPIRE= # # The SKEL variable specifies the directory containing "skeletal" user # files; in other words, files such as a sample .profile that will be # copied to the new user's home directory when it is created. # SKEL=/etc/skel # # Defines whether the mail spool should be created while # creating the account # CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=yes -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
