I just ran into the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial $ cat /etc/default/useradd SHELL=/bin/bash $ useradd -D GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/bash SKEL=/etc/skel CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no $ sudo useradd testuser $ getent passwd testuser testuser:x:1081:1082::/home/testuser:
I expected testuser to show /bin/bash for the shell, but that's not the case. -- 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
