Title:
useradd -D -s does not update shell
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
$ sudo useradd -D
[sudo] password for clayk:
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no
Attempting to change SHELL:
$ sudo useradd -D -s /bin/bash
$ sudo useradd -D
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no
Attempting with slight variation of command:
$ sudo useradd -Ds /bin/bash
$ sudo useradd -D
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no
I am expecting the default shell to change to /bin/bash in this
instance.
