enewuser won't create a home directory if you don't specify one (ie it's set to /dev/null or it's unset). Also, you can use 'esethome' to set the home directory to an existing directory. With both of these options I don't think that a --do-not-create-homedir option is necessary. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlAJd+YACgkQ2ugaI38ACPDmLgD8C/CifrMost6b5cYVZn3R+FnU K3Qf6Tp85S/gSPT7fC0A/ikEDaKGQxqainhzWRfl0fyyb6MSRZphzcz+uwb+Y/1t =yFDr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
