This is not a bug. |

This is the new way to add users, because now in this millenium in most cases we are (administrators) not adding real users to systems with a shell and homedir it's mainly for authentification purposes, THEN if YOU (administrator) judge that THAT user shall have a homedir and real shell, you add -m or other stuff (the shell part may be unimplemented everywhere yet ...) . |

It's almost a security feauture so we wont accedentally give a shell to johnDoe who ordered his internetaccount over the phone a joeChmuck's CC ... |

Of course we all have different tastes , but it is implemented this way on many rescent distros. ... |

:)No need to explain. Until recently, this list was the only discussion |
32 |
:)list |
33 |
:)for gentoo. I would post to gentoo-user about issues first to actually |
34 |
:)determine if it is a bug. Perhaps it's a case like this where you were |
35 |
:)missing a flag or something. Once it's determined to be a bug, a |
36 |
:)detailed |
37 |
:)bug report should be posted to gentoo-dev. Hopefully, we'll have a |
38 |
:)bug-tracking system setup for taking in bug reports in a consistent |
39 |
:)fashion. |

53 |
:)Don't get me wrong. You're questions are fine. I'm just trying to |
54 |

55 |
