useradd

[Paul M. Whitney]

You are correct, I misinformed you.

The /etc/default/useradd file is there as a backup for values that may not
already be defined in /etc/libuser.conf. The login.defs file also contains
attributes used by libuser.conf.

If you look at the /etc/libuser.conf file you will see that:

[CODE]
[userdefaults]
LU_USERNAME = %n
# LU_UIDNUMBER = 500
LU_GIDNUMBER = %u
# LU_USERPASSWORD = !!
# LU_GECOS = %n
# LU_HOMEDIRECTORY = /home/%n
# LU_LOGINSHELL = /bin/bash

[/CODE]
If you look at /etc/login.defs:

[CODE]
#
# Min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd
#
UID_MIN                   500
UID_MAX                 60000

#
# Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd
#
GID_MIN                   500
GID_MAX                 60000

[/CODE]
Hope this clear things up....

Paul
