Title:
Add override options when home directory already exists
Status in adduser:
Confirmed
Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: adduser
When a new user is added and the default home directory for the
username already exists, adduser issues a warning and refuses to touch
it. This is desirable to prevent unintentional damage from copying
skel and setting uid/gid. But when a home directory has to be created
beforehand and the admin wants adduser to copy skel and set uid/gid,
there is no way to override the default behavior. This situation
arises when the user's home directory is an individual mount on a md,
lvm, or dm-crypt device. The device must be mounted first so skel is
copied to the correct target but the uid/gid can't be set correctly
because the user/group doesn't exist yet.
