No, its not. "Keine Berechtigung" means "permission denied". Which is due to me running reportbug as a user, not as root and /etc/default/useradd being restricted to root: root@debiantest:~# LANG=C ls -l /etc/default/useradd -rw------- 1 root root 1195 Mar 26 10:00 /etc/default/useradd I just tried again on a minimal template: root@debiantest:~# useradd -m test root@debiantest:~# getent passwd | grep test test:x:1001:1001::/home/test: root@debiantest:~# grep -v "^#" /etc/default/useradd SHELL=/bin/sh From your other mail: > I mean for useradd, but using adduser is recommended anyway. Sure is, still, useradd is supposed to work as well and also its the distribution agnostic way to add users. Thanks, -- Martin
