Could this be a sign of useradd ignoring everything in /etc/default/useradd? I've stumbled upon a problem when changing the default HOME base directory. Example:
# useradd -D GROUP=100 HOME=/tmp INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/sh SKEL=/etc/skel CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no # useradd -m testuser14 # grep testuser14 /etc/passwd testuser14:x:5012:5012::/home/testuser14: I think useradd is not only ignoring the SHELL variable (though I didn't change it in this example), but also the rest of variables that appear in /etc/default/useradd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321854 Title: useradd doesn't add the default shell to /etc/passwd entry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/1321854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
