Hey, not sure if this is the correct group - but when i use the command useradd, it creates the user but not the default home directories. When i use webmin, it creates the user along with home dir - any suggestions ?

man useradd: -m The user's home directory will be created if it does not exist. The files contained in skele ton_dir will be copied to the home directory if the -k option is used, otherwise the files contained in /etc/skel will be used instead. Any directories contained in skeleton_dir or /etc/skel will be cre ated in the user's home directory as well. The -k option is only valid in conjunction with the -m option. The default is to not create the directory and to not copy any files. HTH, Sven
