Dear Maintainer,

In useradd(8), we have the following:

-d, --home-dir HOME_DIR
The new user will be created using HOME_DIR as the value for the user's login directory. The default is to append the LOGIN name to BASE_DIR and use that
as the login directory name. If the directory HOME_DIR does not exist, then it will be created unless the -M option is specified.

The last sentence says HOME_DIR will be created, but it is not. Looking further,
it appears the reason is because CREATE_HOME does not exist in /etc/login.defs

I've attached a patch to remove the last sentence of above description.

(the patch appears to be missing)

If, as you say, this is configurable in /etc/login.defs, then: IMO
it would be better to send a patch describing the configurable
behaviour, and sending that upstream.

For option -M, there is already some text about CREATE_HOME.
I guess it was an overseen that -d would also need some text.

Best,
Chris

Do you know offhand if CREATE_HOME not being in /etc/login.defs is
debian specific? (so upstream doesn't bounce it back)

So, apparently shadow-4.1.3 introduced CREATE_HOME, with this note
in NEWS:

- /etc/login.defs
* New CREATE_HOME variable to tell useradd to create a home directory by
default.

useradd.c turns on creating a homedir, if it sees either -m or
CREATE_HOME. (using getdef_bool, which defaults to false.)

The etc/login.defs file shipped by upstream, has this contents:

#
# If useradd(8) should create home directories for users by default (non
# system users only).
# This option is overridden with the -M or -m flags on the useradd(8)
# command-line.
#
#CREATE_HOME yes

IOW: CREATE_HOME is _off_ by default upstream. This appears to be unchanged since 4.1.2.

Apologies for that, reportbug went into a loop prompting for the filename,
so I just hit <enter> to submit and sent right after; should show up any minute.

Yes, I'm guessing same.
